The Bible Bard provides a literary analysis of key ideas from the Bible that describe God and humanity. This is analysis of simple, declarative texts that reveal something about God or humanity. Using an inductive method where the text is considered data, the Bible Bard builds up a picture of what the Bible itself actually teaches about God and humankind.
