Just read it. So would you say the bible's intended audience has come and passed? Is it still relevant today?
Of more interest to me is why you think the bible is of special value. Isn't it a book like any other subject to interpretation like all the rest? Why do so many Christians read it to receive direction on how to lead their lives? Why do so many think it is a book of authoritative facts (such as the age of the earth) which should be believed in lieu of empirical research?
