RICHARD'S IDEAL
Te totum applica ad textum;
rem totam applica ad te.
Apply yourself wholly to the text;
apply the text wholly to yourself.
—Johann Albrecht Bengel (1687-1752)
FAVOURITE SCRIPTURE
I have been crucified with Christ; I live, yet it is no longer I, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live on the human plane I live by faith in God's Son, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
—Galatians 2.19b-20 USC
