How Do Scholars Determine The Purpose Of Texts In The Hebrew Bible And The New Testament?
Scholars go to great lengths to situate the composition of texts in the Hebrew Bible or in the New Testament within whatever historical period makes the most sense. Some texts function as propaganda or to place one person struggling for power over another person. Other texts help people feel better about why bad things happen to good people and good things do not happen to bad people.
