抱持單純的心態閱讀聖經

我們閱讀聖經的時候，不應帶著批判的態度，而是抱持單純的心態。就像兒子不會對父親的信件做語法分析；就像在餐桌上吃麵包時，不會進行化學分析——化學分析是在實驗室做的。(RSp, 71)

When we read Scripture, we should not do it with a spirit of criticism, but with simplicity. Like the son who reads his father’s letter, without doing the grammatical analysis; how bread is eaten at table, without chemical analysis: this is done in laboratories (RSp, 71).
