What Is the Bible? – Doctrine 401
The Bible is a collection of writings with human authors, but inspired by God, truthful in its teaching, and authoritative for the believer.
Inspiration
The Doctrine of the Bible
From the human perspective, the Bible is a diverse collection of literature written over a long period of time. From a divine perspective, it is the authoritative guide to faith and practice.
The Importance of the Human Authorship of the Bible

Scripture: Inspired by God to Train and Equip – 2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Scripture is given to us by God to train us in the Christian life and to equip us for service in the kingdom. It’s up to us to use it.
