Regarding Scripture: Biblical Genres
from Parker Ford Church's Podcast · host Parker Ford Church
The Bible contains many different genres of writing including laws, prophecy, wisdom literature, history, biography, prayers, songs, poems, apocalyptic literature, personal letters, and more. As with different genres in modern literature, each style of writing requires a different, or nuanced, form of reading and interpretation. The more we can learn to distinguish the genres of the Bible, and learn how to read them, the more equipped we become to better understand what they are saying.
