About This Book

The work begins with a prologue offering practical rules for reading Scripture, arguing that sacred writings have an outer shell for careless readers and an inner pith revealed by the Spirit, and warning that human traditions, allegorical glosses, and hypocritical readings obstruct true understanding. It distinguishes three uses of Scripture—law that condemns, gospel that promises mercy, and the stories of faithful learners—and supplies keys to open meanings and resist false doctrines. The main section applies these principles in an extended exposition of the prophet Jonah, combining narrative summary, moral instruction, and doctrinal reflection.
