The Bible is a book pointing a way to freedom under law, to guidance under love, to revelation through reason. Let us approach its study with this in mind and much will become clear which, otherwise, seems confusing.
The two great teachers of the Bible are Moses and Jesus. Moses taught the universal law of cause and effect. Jesus tells us of a direct relationship between God and man. One is not complete without the other. Both teachings are necessary.
In compiling the following pages an endeavor has been made to avoid details, repetition and dogma, and to incorporate passages from "The Grand Old Book," which time cannot change nor environment alter; for, built upon the rock of changeless and eternal Reality, self-evident truths cannot be shaken.
The Bible was written by human beings whose thought was reaching toward Ultimate Reality, and, if it is to be understood, it must be read with the same motive. Always, the mind that writes is the mind that reads, for there is but One Mind in the universe and all inquiry into Truth is an inquiry into this Mind.
--Ernest Holmes
