Ever heard the song, Killing Me Softly by Roberta Flack?
Parts of the lyrics go...
Telling my whole life with his words
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he'd found my letters and read each one out loud
He sang as if he knew me, in all my dark dispair...
That was the exactly the impression I got reading the Bible. It was so true to my understanding of human nature, so true to what is within me, that I was "flushed and embarrassed". The Bible's authors were telling my whole life with their words.
Is this psychological? For the exact thing seems to have happened to millions of people all of different ethnicities, races, nationalities, genders, and ages.
And no other work of literature has had such a profound, lasting, or universally influential effect on humanity as the Bible has.
How could the human response to the Bible be only psychological?
