Are you suggesting that the Bible was only written for the people of that era back then? I disagree.
There was a Peanuts cartoon in which Lucy was expounding on all of the lofty literary reasons why an author had written what he wrote. Then Linus said, "Maybe he needed the money."
I gave that cartoon to my English professor but he didn't see the humour. No doubt Charles Schultz meant it for people 2000 years in the future.
Some of our greatest authors - Charles Dickens and Mark Twain come to mind - wrote because they needed the money. And they're not getting any from you or me.
