The study of the literary forms and genre of the different pericope in the Bible plays a very significant role in Biblical interpretation. This study allows the people to recognize that there are many types of literature. The authors always choose a vehicle through which they send a message to the readers. By there choice of genre, the authors are able to signal the readers how to take the message they want to convey.
In order to understand the story of Scripture and read the world from the Bible’s perspective, we must “play the game” on the Bible’s field and follow the Bible’s
rules.
Instead of a pagan view of time and eternity (primarily based on Plato and Greek philosophy), the Bible presents time linearly. A simple timeline can be used to describe redemptive history in a two-age manner (“this age” and “the age to come”), separated by a climactic day called the Day of the LORD.
Bible Compilation, Transmission and AlterationSabeel Ahmed
Objective study of the compilation and transmission of the Bible. Many Christians are unaware of the history of the bible and thus assume it is preserved and the word of God. This presentation will examine how the bible was compiled and the changes that took place from the time of the first letters of Paul till our time.
The place of john the baptist in gospel history.GLENN PEASE
Jesus needed not only witnesses to follow him and testify to
what he had done, but also a witness who should precede him,
who should bring men to a sense of their need of him and
announce his coming. What the apostles did for Jesus after his
work was done, John did for him before that work began.

spoken with authority.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
