Intense study of the Bible will keep any writer from being vulgar, in point of style.

I know the Bible is inspired because it finds me at greater depths of my being than any other book

The Bible is not primarily a written or printed text to be scrutinized in private, in a scholar's study or a contemplative cell. It is a body of oral messages, announcements, prophecies, promulgations, recitals, histories, songs of praise, lamentations, etc., which are meant either to be uttered or at least read aloud, or chanted, or sung, or recited in a community convoked for the purpose of a living celebration.

I see application every time I study the Bible. And this particular study provides a good summation of the first five books of the Bible.

When you have read the Bible, you will know it is the word of God, because you have found it the key to your own heart, your own happiness and your own duty.
