What can we actually get out of reading the more "historically orientated" parts of the Bible? The only things I've gleened really is that 1. God is relavent in history 2. It is a prefiguration of the salvation given to us by Jesus, meaning the Israelites screwed up, God got them out of the screw up 3. Humanity really hasn't changed all that much in the last 3-4,000 years 4. Sometimes bad things happen, life keeps happening (exile, exodus, destruction of the first temple etc)
