The short story element of the Bible.

People keep alive in their stories of their heroes those qualities which they cherish most highly; therefore, if one could know the stories told by the people of any civilization he would know much about its inner nature. It is through the story element woven shuttle-like through the pages of the Bible that one comes to know God's dealings with the Hebrew people from the Creation to the Judgment. No writer had any idea that what he was writing would ever be in a Bible. Most of the stories were repeated endlessly around campfires on the Galilean hills before they were put down in writing. Sometimes the inspired message which the early writers wished to impart does not conform to literal facts; nevertheless, the great characters and the glowing accounts of their experiences take one into the midst of their life which is warm with human interest and fluctuating passions.
