The Bible is the holy book of the Christians. It has two parts: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament refers to Jewish stories of prophets and kings. The New Testament tells the story of Jesus Christ. The old school values God’s Law, and sees God as someone who demands submission and obedience. The new school sees God as a loving Father.

To make sense of the Bible, people must understand the structure of the Bible. The Bible presupposes that God created the world, including all the animals and plants and humans. He expected humans to live by certain rules. But, humans broke those rules. As a result, humans were cast out of Eden. Human history then becomes this quest to return to the primal Paradise or Eden. The question is how do humans do so?
