As a writer, I am disappointed in the quality of writing in the most important book in history. There are three big reasons why we find writing quality lacking - three resons which are quite often easy to forget:
1) God chose his human instruments on criteria other than rhetorical skills.
2) God's message is being filtered through men and was written for men to understand. Men between 2000 and 6000 years ago - which has to be translated into modern language - to make the situation more interesting.
3) We will never know the full meaning of God's message so long as mere language is the best tool to convey it. God's message is too huge, varied, multi-dimensional and colorful for our meat-based minds to comprehend. Running God's message through human language is like running the Pacific Ocean through a garden hose - nobody will receive the full impact of it until they meet Him in person.
