Assignment Task: One of the unique aspects of Christianity is the fact that it's doctrines, teachings, and beliefs are built upon the life and ministry of Jesus Christ as revealed through the writings found in the Holy Bible. Yet, over time and throughout the recent history of the Christian church, the nature and status of the Holy Bible has become the subject of great academic debate among scholars. The issue at the center of this debate is the long-held traditional viewpoint that the Holy Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, OR the more contemporary belief that it is simply a great work of literature and myths communicating religious stories and are irrelevant in application to life today.
