reminding readers of the following facts about the Bible:

• The Bible is a unified text in that its theme is carried out from Genesis to Revelation without contradiction in spite of the fact that it was written over a period of several hundred years by a number of different writers.

• Each book, chapter, and verse hinges on the others; meaning none of the Bible can be isolated from the rest of it. The full meaning and ‘story’ is dependent on the whole text in order to be complete.
