You should not take into account those who, out of convenience, want to keep people away from the Bible and who say: If you go to philosophers and interpret the Bible, they will say they want nothing to do with it. — But such research is based on convenience. On the other hand, research that says, “We cannot go deep enough to understand what is written in the Bible,” is justified and correct. The right kind of research into the Bible is that which approaches it with an open mind and then understands the Bible in the right sense. These researchers understand the truth of the Bible's words: “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
