I don’t think I said the Bible was to entertain us. But as Jordan says, if the purpose of the Bible was simply to save us, and not to change the way we think and live, it would be about 15 pages long. Its purpose is to save us, but also to equip us for godliness and wisdom in every sphere of life. That takes a big book, with all the trimmings.

Jesus was not sent to enlighten us but to save us. It is a detailed urgent message to you personally. God made the word flesh. Theologians wish to turn it back into the word. My favorite theologian? John Bunyan’s desperate Christian in Pilgrim Progress.
