This is just Christians and Jews and religious ideologues (including atheists) who speak from within literary criticism of the Bible as if it is one book, thanks to the Council of Nicaea.You see this book:
Properly speaking, the Bible is a collection of many books, some fiction some non-fiction. Others combining the two.

Although it only has one name on the cover, each chapter was written by a different person. Each chapter was written by an expert on the particulars of that chapter's content.
Is it just a collection of different books? or one book with many chapters?
Does it matter?
