I recently had to research information on the Bible as the written word form of art, referred to by Van der Leeuw. Not being a very religious person, I found that there are two parts to the Bible, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is about the history of Israel as a nation and how it came about. The New Testament is about the life and death of Jesus Christ, and was also considered the fulfillment of God's promise to His people.
I personally have never read the Bible, however, I have heard scriptures from it. I've also heard stories of how the Bible is constantly being questioned regarding it's historic accuracy. Some say that there is no way to prove that God is real, judging by the fact that in the Bible it says that he created the Heavens and the earth. That is correct, we cannot prove whether He really created the Heavens and the Earth, however, there are more parts in the book that can be proved correct more than wrong. In the excerpt about Jacob's well being very deep and that Jesus had nothing to retrieve water with, Jacob's well has been proven to be very deep, as in 80 feet deep.
The true accuracy of the Bible can never actually be told, it's an opinion kind of thing, you either believe it or you don't. If you do believe in it, you definitely don't question it's accuracy. If you don't believe in it, it's your opinion whether you feel that it is accurate or not, judging by research. You can't just assume that the Bible is historically inaccurate. You must prove it with the correct research.
