The Holy Bible—Westminster Study Edition

There is a sense, indeed, in which the Bible may be described as a very direct and intimate letter to every human being. In its ultimate meaning, beyond all questions about authors and documents, about the origin and development of many ideas and practices contained in the Record, it is a letter from God to mankind. By its diffusion among all nations and the individual challenge of the truth it conveys, this book carries upon it the name and address of every people and person to whom it comes. To each of these it comes, not as a book about religion, not even as a book about God. It comes, rather, as a very intimate and personal communication to all men, corporately and individually, to hear and obey the Word which the living God addresses to them.
