## Articles

This is what he shared with a newer member who asked what the path ahead looked like.
- [Do we need to analyze the Bible?](https://biblicalmastery.academy/resources/articles/do-we-need-to-analyze-the-bible): The New Testament authors wrote naturally, not parsing their grammar. Why analyze it so closely? Because inspiration reaches the words, and exegesis demands it.
