Scores of brilliant scholars have shared their studies through the years on this amazing document. These learned professors are generally writing for others seeking to become learned professors, and we are thankfully indebted to them. However, such works tend to be so scholarly they become generously wordy with detailed information on minutiae items in the text.

This more concise work, while adhering to sound principles, is intended to serve that purpose. FENTER DEE NORTHERN has been teaching and preaching the gospel of Christ for over sixty years.
