Is the Bible meant for ordinary people or only for scholars and clergy?

Les explains that the Bible was not meant to be kept only in seminaries and monasteries. He recalls an early Reformer, perhaps Tyndale or Wycliffe, who prayed while being burned at the stake that every plow boy in England could have a copy of this Book. That shows it is meant for the common person. Les says this is all they try to do: teach it on a common man's level, so that almost anybody can comprehend it. Their comments from letters reflect that same goal. He trusts that as people study, the Lord will bless them, hearts will be opened, and he especially appeals to those who have never had a salvation experience, because the Gospel is so simple and yet so complex.
