I think it is much better for this page to be prose rather than simply lists of people in the Bible. The list could become enormous. For lists of people in the Bible the appropriate place to put it is in: Bible Characters Index and a more specific index such as Kings of Israel Index. --Graham grove 06:15, 8 August 2008 (PDT)

- I guess the difference is going to be subtle. The focus in this page will be an overview of who is in the Bible, e.g. who were the Patriarchs, who were the judges, who were the apostles etc. A page on Bible history (is there one?

The page on the Bible itself will have more focus on how the Bible is divided up and how it has come down through the ages to us today. --Graham grove 10:21, 8 August 2008 (PDT)
