How To
Understand Scripture
"It
shall Greatly Helpe Ye to
Understande Scripture,
If Thou Mark Not only What is Spoken
or Written,
But of Whom, And to Whom,
With what Words,
At what Time,
Where,
To what Intent,
With what Circumstances,
Considering what Goeth Before
And what Followeth."
* The English Bible translator, Miles Coverdale, whose version became
the
basis for the King James Version, listed his own Bible study techniques
in the preface to his 1535 edition. (Nelson’s
Complete Book of Stories, Illustations & Quotes, edited by
Robert J. Morgan, p.#66.)
Wilbur M. Smith says that this text has been attributed to
both Miles Coverdale (1535) and John Wycliffe (1324-1384) . (Wilbur M.
Smith, Profitable Bible Study,
Wilde, 1939, p. 38)
