In English class today, a teacher mentioned that the Bible is generally viewed as literature (and nothing more) because it is not verifiable. At the time, I wasn't quite sure how to answer such a sweeping statement. After giving it more thought, I figured that I could've said that it's just as verifiable as any other historical document --we check with eyewitnesses, go to the historical sites, etc. etc.
How would you have answered the teacher's claim?
What about certain aspects of biblical passages that aren't yet verifiable in a "lets go see and find out" manner, such as the tomb of Jesus?
Thanks,
Matthew
