Biblical Interpretation 1 Keys to unlock the passage
"It must be said that, for the mature Christian, every Scripture reading will be “too long”, even the shortest one, for the Scripture is a whole, and every word, every sentence, possesses such multiple relationships with the whole that it is impossible always to keep the whole in view when listening to details. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the whole of Scripture, and hence every passage in it as well, far surpasses our understanding. It is good for us to be daily reminded of this fact." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), taken from Life Together
