> The Old Testament is history, genealogy, a system of laws for a specific
|
||
> nation, a system of arbitration of disputes, building instructions for the
|
||
> temple, a guide to hygiene and manners, music (now poetry), and “Instruction
|
||
> in Wisdom”. It would be like if there was single book that had the
|
||
> constitution, a record of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, the collected works of
|
||
> Walt Whitman, the family tree of George Washington, the layout of The Mall in
|
||
> DC, and the directions for running a session of congress. If we called the
|
||
> book, “The Book Of AMERICA”, it wouldn’t mean you need to chop down a cherry
|
||
> tree in order to be a citizen.
