My Approach as a Teacher An introductory course. Scientific rather than poetic mentality. Method subordinate to sanctity. Important things said only once.

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandments of the LORD is pure, enlight’ning the eyes.
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; The judgments of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
