— The argument from cohesion

A book composed across impossible distances.

And yet it tells one story

⟶ Across Time
1,500 yrs
From Moses (~1400 BC) to John of Patmos (~95 AD). Roman emperors, Babylonian kings, and Persian governors all came and went between the first sentence and the last.
⟶ Across Geography
3 continents
Written from the deserts of Sinai (Africa), the rivers of Babylon (Asia), and the prisons of Rome (Europe). Some authors never met. Most never read each other's work.
⟶ Across Voice
40 hands
Shepherds, kings, fishermen, tax collectors, physicians, tentmakers, prophets, prisoners. Hebrew, Aramaic, Koine Greek — folded into one continuous text.
⟶ Across Genre
9 forms
Law, history, poetry, wisdom, prophecy, gospel, epistle, apocalypse, biography — bound by a thread of recurring themes, motifs, and prophecies fulfilled.
