The Holy Bible

Last class Professor Corrigan had the class read aloud the book of Joel from the Bible to nature. After the reading time was finished, the class reported back to the room to collectively discuss thoughts and opinions about the book of Joel, as well as the effect of reading the text aloud.

People tend to forget that the Holy Bible is literature. I think people just cast the Bible aside from literature because it's a book associated with religion and some of the authors may be unknown. However, there are many books that are read in literature with authors unknown. The Bible was inspired by God and written down by many of people that God chose to relay the messages on paper. If anyone were to argue that the Bible is not literature, they should take another look into the text. Different genres, similes, symbolism, and many many themes can be found.

Speaking God's word over nature was an amazing feeling. The Bible states that there is life and death in the power of the tongue. We spoke life into those words and spoke it into existence.
