Sounds like a pretty definitive work to me. Let me ask you a question. Are you a selective Christian? Do you believe every single aspect of the Bible or do you discard a few things here and there as exaggeration or hyperbole?

Do you believe in Adam and Eve?
The parting of the Red Sea?
A talking burning bush?
The great flood?
Lot's wife being turned into a pillar of salt?
Moses' staff transforming into a snake?
