If you took an introductory college course on classic literature, you may encounter the instructor making some claims about the Bible such as:

Moses did not author the first 5 books of the Bible.

The Gospels are not four independent accounts of Jesus Christ.

The historical Jesus was simply a man.

The Bible is mythological not historical.

Evaluating these claims takes us into the study of Biblical Criticism, a necessary and vital discipline for studying the Bible.

If indeed God is a true and historical Being, then the Bible would be a true and historical document.
