The terminology is what's called verbal plenary inspiration.

So verbal, it's spoken.

Plenary, it's like written down and then inspired.

So there are human authors to all these books.

Okay, so humans wrote these chapters, but they were inspired by God.

Yes, so the understanding.

So in the Bible itself, Peter says that men spoke as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

So there's a historical context to all of these, like the history of this period of time of the nation of Israel as they were being led by particular rulers.

And where does Jesus show up?

There's a whole bunch of genres of literature.

So some of it is history.

Some of it is poetry.

Some of it is what's called wisdom literature.

Yeah.

So by the time that Jesus is around, there's approximately an agreement of what is considered Scripture.
