That’s odd. When I was kid I enjoyed reading stories and novels, and found history and science boring and uninteresting. So when I started reading the Bible, the most natural way for me to read and understand it, was like similar literature, trying to derive what meaning the writer was trying to convey rather than what sort of historical or scientific facts I could derive from it.
This seems to be what is the natural reading of it, since the similarityin style between these genres, rather than reading it the way we would modern historical accounts, or science texts books.
I’m curious why you think otherwise?
