One of the first pieces of information we need to understand the literature of the biblical world is precisely the process of production and the meaning of writing. Without it there would be neither literature nor the biblical world, since these exist from the pre-supposed writing. Even our world is unfeasible without writing. Therefore we must bear in mind that the Bible and literature exist because written communication was developed beforehand. And this became so important for humanity that it became a tool for the development of ancient societies and ours, by extension. It is for this and much more that we say that the communication process we call writing can be seen as one of the most important creations of the human being. And it was from the development of writing that the literature of the biblical world became possible. This literature involves not only the biblical people but also their Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Greek and Roman neighbours. And more, the biblical literature is a result of the literature of the peoples that preceded the development of the Israelites.
