The Biblical Prose

Post by ReyvrexQuestor Reyes »

Do you find the writing style of the Bible exemplary and most readable?

-- 01 Nov 2017, 00:32 --

The Bible, although written by so many authors, of varying periods, was kept by scholars and/or scribes to be of readable format and of such beautiful style. In contrast to the legal prose (laws, decrees, orders, ordinances, promulgations, tax regulations, etc) which will give you a headache, the Biblical text is a pleasant and smooth read.

Thanks BookHausJ. I agree with you. The Bible is one example of clear and very readable prose.

It is readable but you have to spend enough time to come to terms with it.

It is readable and in many cases, rather poetic

Yours sincerely,

The prose adheres to correct grammar except that some sentences start with "And" and "But" which the editors here frown upon.
