I mean, every book written has a logic theme followed.
Has the Bible continued or I should say started that rule?
So what is the theme, and please add an explanation. Thank you.

The theme is the sanctification of God's holy name through his Kingdom rulership with Jesus Christ as it's king. In the garden of Eden, Satan challenged Jehovah God's absolute right to rule over his creation and in Job's day he brought reproach on humans by saying that they only served God for selfish reasons. These issues are being settled now and the Bible is a record of how it all started and how it will be resolved.

Because so many different human beings authored the various books and portions of the Bible, the Bible cannot truly be described as having a single over-riding theme. Especially as the Old Testament is so driven by masculine "judgement, command, and control" issues, whereas the New Testament is much more of a feminine appeal to the soul, a "calling out" to the heart, an offering to those who suffer. But if I had to pick a few themes above all others, here are a few: * Treat others as you wish to be treated. * Practice simplicity and humility. * Lay up your treasure in the form of spiritual virtues rather than excessive material wealth. * Ask and it shall be answered, knock and the door shall be opened. * If you don't know what to do or where to go, fast, pray, meditate. * Your are an immortal soul having a human experience in a mortal body. * The body should be treated as the vessel of the soul. * But, the needs of the soul outrank the needs of the body. * An early, courageous death of the body is better than a long life that starves, neglects, or denies the soul. In any case, death is in a lesser sense an ending, and in a greater sense, a beginning. * The truth shall set you free. * There will be a happily ever after, even if most of us delay or resist it's arrival. Here is the hardest but the most important theme for most of us -- this theme raises the question of whether most individuals or nations who call themselves Christians are actually Christian -- *** Meet ignorance, fear, hatred and violence, with truth, love, compassion and kindness. *** *** Meet the negative with the positive. *** This is primarily what earth's greatest souls are remembered for. [Footnote: I decided that I did not need to use the word dog spelled backwards to give a *good* answer to this question.]

2 answers to this question:
1. The Bible is not one book, but a collection of 66 books, written by about 40 different authors.
2. In spite of this, the whole Bible does have a single theme from its first to last page. It is Christ and His redemption. In Genesis God promises to send a saviour, the seed of woman who will crush Satan's head. At the end of Revelation we see the accomplishment of all this. In every book of the Bible, we can find material that relates to this theme.

The main theme of the Bible is that God exists and mankind should strive to love him. I'm an atheist and I understand this. The explanation is pretty self-evident.

The Theme of the Bible is: That God is our Creator, and our Redeemer. He loves us unconditionally, and is a forgiving God. One day He will return to take those who accept His free gift of Salvation home, to live forever with Him; away from all sin, pain, tragedies, and disappointments. In the meantime, the Bible has PROMISES which God left for the human race, that will encourage us here on this dark earth, until the GREAT CONTROVERSY between GOOD and EVIL has ended, and the former things will be passed away.
God wanted to show us in the Bible how He was with His people, lead them like a Shepherd, and also set limits for their own good. He was always there for those in the Bible stories, and He PROMISES to be there for us, too...if we open the door of our hearts, and let Him in to stay with us, guide us, comfort us, and love us.

Creation, man's fall to sin; the promise of a Redeemer and the arrival of him, Jesus; Jesus' life, death and resurrection; the end times. The main theme, I believe, is God's forgiveness and mercy.

It is the autobiography of a soul, it is spiritual history of the idea of god,man's search for meaning,his struggle to understand his place.An interpretation of reality in the Hebrew and Greek languages.
