Quote:Why is the Bible so poorly written?


Quote:Millions of evangelicals and other Christian fundamentalists believe that the Bible was dictated by God to men who acted essentially as human transcriptionists. If that were the case, one would have to conclude that God is a terrible writer. Many passages in the Bible would get kicked back by any competent editor or writing professor, kicked back with a lot of red ink—often more red than black.

I suppose out of 2 billion Christians there are some who see it this way, but that isn't the typical view on inspiration. 

Catholic encyclopedia
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08045a.htm
Quote:The grace of inspiration does not exempt the writer from personal effort, nor does it insure the perfection of his work from an artistic point of view.

Chicago statement on inerrancy:

Quote:WE AFFIRM  that God in His work of inspiration utilized the distinctive personalities and literary styles of the writers whom He had chosen and prepared.
