Which writings of the Bible are the most appropriate and revealing for believers?
Paul's writings are the most appropriate and most revealing for believers. They are emphasized as such, yet Paul cannot be separated from the rest of Scripture, because all of it fits together as a unified whole. This means believers should value Paul's epistles while recognizing the harmony of all Scripture.
Les teaches that he is emphatic on Paul's writings as being the most appropriate and the most revealing for believers. He clarifies that you cannot just separate Paul and say he doesn't have anything else for the rest of Scripture; it all fits together. As an example, he contrasts the three Synoptic Gospels with John: the Synoptics record Jesus' temptations and His agony in the garden because they deal primarily with His humanity, while John does not mention these because he looks only from the fact that Jesus is God. This illustrates how different portions of Scripture complement each other.
