Give the world any book that has multiple authors – not just two, three or four authors, or even five or ten authors, but authors who are in multiples of ten…say 35 to 40 authors, writing cohesively from the same foundation, having never been gathered into the same conferencing room together, or whose works have never been quietly edited by devotees; a book written by authors most of whom that had never met – many never even having lived together in the same time-span, century, or even millennia…

Give the world a Book written by normal folks and great leaders, people from all walks of life – from kings to shepherds, tradesmen to scholars, and prophets to fishermen; each one inspired by the same Almighty God, all authoring a unique Book displaying a breadth of diversity in culture and subject matter, while still retaining dynamic cohesiveness in Spiritual Thought…

Give the world a book which claims to be inspired by God and give thirty-five hundred years for anyone from the most skeptical peasant to the most critical, analytical, and proficient scholar, from any institution of higher learning, in any religion and in every culture, to prove or disprove its claim, and it is still grandly standing the test of time; whose astute historical detail, primary source for Mid-East authoritative archeological findings, and unwavering Spiritual Truth is respected and revered by millions upon millions in today’s most cultured, modern and elite societies…

Give the world a Book that proclaims events to come, declared sometimes hundreds or even thousands of years before their fulfillment and give those same prophecies the requirement that they have 100% accuracy in their God-spoken fulfillment, asserting that not one word of the prophecies from God can fail in any degree…

Give the world a book that can accurately be sustained as a historical document, faithfully giving evidence to what has happened throughout the centuries and honorably representing the history of the nations recorded, certifiable by the shovel and trowel of archeologists drawn to the Mid-East from all over the world…

Give the world a Book that gives security to the lonely distressed single mother; that gives insight to the most scholarly scientist; that gives hope to the struggling insecure adolescent; that gives faith to the simplest, most innocent child; that gives direction to the most powerful CEO; that gives comfort in the ultimate turmoil of dying, and that gives the reality of eternal salvation to the departed soul; yes, give the world that Book, and it will be called “God’s Holy Living Word: The Bible”.
