I look at the most influential areligious and secular writers who've ever lived; they strain, with what they feel is good intention, to write and reach the world in their own way, from their own minds, own hearts, own opinions, own imaginations and own final definitive opinions--all the while the Bible stands out as the most influential book ever written.
"How can you say that?"
Think of the great men and women of faith who wrote and are writing to and for the glory of God. We're talking centuries and centuries of writings based on the God of the Trinity at their core. That means thousands and thousands, maybe millions of essays, novels, dissertations, thesis, books of principal, books on doctrine, attributes, man-to-God relationship, salvation,sin, grace, prayer, etc.
These men and women wrote and write un-policed, Scripturally inspired works that many hated and still hate. People go so far as to call this kind of writing extreme, radical and fairy tale like. Isn't it funny that all of that work is inspired by one single book: The Bible.
Thousands of people have written books that are inspired by their reading of one book, the same book. Thousands of people have debated, for thousands of years, the validity of one book. Multitude's of people have spent significant amounts of time and energy trying disprove one book to the point that they're recycling and repackaging arguments that have already fallen like a house of cards. Still, the book still stands. It's still the most widely printed and I'm certain you can still find one in just about every hotel and motel room in America (unless you're in Vegas or something).
The Bible is the most influential book ever written. It's impenetrable and it's stood the test of time.
