The proper context for interpreting the Bible is the context of the biblical writers—the context that produced the Bible.
“God is God. If He is God, He is worthy of my worship and my service. I will find rest nowhere but in His will, and that will is infinitely, immeasurably, unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.”
