Need to know
I had this great idea to post the following in the newspaper:
I know, a lot of those books sound like made-up names. At some point, they were, I guess. But it wasn't me. All of those books are mentioned somewhere in the Bible. Most of them are noted in the Old Testament, but apparently, there was an epistle to the Church at Laodicea in the New Testament. Just thought you should know.
There are other lost books, too. You can read more about them in the Bible Dictionary.
Sixty-six books of eternal wisdom: That's what you find in the Holy Bible.
But that's not all. In the 1,590 pages that make up the King James Version of the Bible, there's another kind of wisdom, a playful wisdom. You just have to remove your spiritual glasses.
Put these ones on. Comfy? I thought so. Here's a slightly skewed tour of what you thought you knew of the Scriptures.
