First sentence: The Bible is not a book, it is an anthology, a library, a literature-that is, a collection of books, and of books so different from one another in size and style and content that it might be compared to a newspaper, where we have quite different expectations of what and how we will be reading as we look at the headlines, the sports pages, the editorial cartoons, the classified ads, the society columns, the comics, and the straight news stories.
