Question: 1 / 50

What type of literature is the Bible?

Drama

Mythology

Epic

The Bible contains elements from various literary genres, including history, poetry, and law. However, the overall structure, themes, and style of the Bible align more closely with an epic, making it the most fitting genre for this text.
