The Bible is not man’s word about God, but God’s Word about man.

From Genesis 1:1-4:  “When God began to create the heavens and the earth, the earth was complete chaos, and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.  Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.  And God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness.”

John Barth (born 1930) is an American writer who is best known for his works of fiction.
