Sproul Quote on Understanding Scripture

Here is a quote by the very quotable, R.C. Sproul, from his book on the interpretation of scripture, Knowing Scripture.

"Absurdities often sound profound because they are incapable of being understood. When we hear things we do not understand, sometimes we think they are simply too deep or weighty for us to grasp when in fact they are merely unintelligible statements like "one-hand clapping". the Bible does not talk like that. The Bible speaks of God in meaningful patterns of speech. Some of those patterns are more difficult than others, but they are not meant to be nonsense statements that only a guru can fathom."
