We want to find the Author’s meaning.
We see the biblical writers as the direct spokesperson for God.
God is speaking through these human authors.
If this is the very word of God, we want to know what God is actually saying, not what we want it to say.
Just like the temple had three parts, outer court, inner court, and holy of holies, our body is really 3 parts, body soul and spirit!
