Session 1: Introduction to Biblical Genres
The Bible is far more than a single book—it’s a rich and diverse collection of writings that spans centuries, cultures, and contexts. To fully grasp its meaning and message, it’s essential to understand the variety of literary genres it contains. From epic narratives and heartfelt poetry to prophetic warnings, legal instructions, wise sayings, and personal letters, each literary style serves a unique purpose in communicating God's truth.
In this session, you’ll explore two foundational lessons: Literary Styles of the Bible and The Bible as Ancient Jewish Literature. Together, these lessons will equip you to better recognize the form and function of different biblical texts, helping you engage more deeply with Scripture as a unified yet beautifully diverse, God-inspired work.
