Yes, the Bible is human, though some, out of a zeal which is not
according to knowledge, have denied this. Those books have passed
through the minds of men, are written in the language of men, were
penned by the hands of men, and bear in their style the
characteristics of men. Christ said, "A body hast thou prepared me"
(Hebrews 10: 5). The body was not Christ, yet Christ could not have
been manifested without a body. Christ was divine, but his body was
human. As with the Incarnate so with the Written Word. The spirit
is divine, but the form is human; the thought of God has been given
a body in the language of men. The modes of human expression are
everywhere in evidence. The Scriptures are not all cast in one
mold; there are here history, as in the Kings; Wisdom, as in
Proverbs; Drama, as in Job; Poetry, as in the Psalms; Apocalypse,
as in the Revelation; and Ethic, as in James. Those are the modes
of human thought and expression, and the Bible follows them.
