We do not study the Bible to get to know the Bible. We study the Bible to get to know the God of the Bible.
"Read what you understand and soon you may come to something you don't understand. Keep on reading. Before long, you will come to something you do understand. Gradually, what you understand will help you to understand what you did not understand!" - Richard Bennett
Each Christian has the right and responsibility to investigate and interpret the Word of God for himself/herself.
The Bible interprets itself; Scripture best explains scripture.
"Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." (James 1:22 NIV)
