“We must admit at once that the
Bible is a difficult book, a book sealed with seven seals. And, as time runs
on, it grows no easier. The main reason for that, however, is not that the Book
is written in an “unknown tongue” or contains some “secret words that man may
not repeat”. On the contrary, the very stumbling-block of the Bible is its
utter simplicity: the mysteries of God are framed into the daily life of
average men, and the whole story may seem to be all too human. Just as the
Incarnate Lord himself appeared to be an ordinary man”[1].
