What is the Bible?

The Bible and missionsOur ML 520 Biblical Foundations of Misison class is exploring the idea that the Bible is a missionary book. Of all the ways I've heard the Bible explained, (handbook, rulebook, instructionbook, etc) this is the theory I'm most attracted to. I'll post my report soon. Can't wait to dig into this one!

"That Book is not the book of a nation, but the Book of nations, because it places before us the fortunes of one nation as a symbol unto all the rest, because it connects the history of this one people with the origin of the world, and by a series of earthly and spiritual developments, of facts necessary and accidental continues it unto the remotest regions of the farthest eternities." 
-Goethe
