Our approach
Truth is not built from an isolated verse.
We begin with the text, its speaker, audience, setting, and purpose. Then we trace the chapter, the book, and the related passages.
We distinguish what Scripture states directly from interpretation, leave unresolved questions unresolved, and seek יהוה's understanding within the whole witness.
