‘The general hermeneutical principle outlined by Dr. David L. Cooper, the founder of The Biblical Research Society is this:
When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense;
Therefore, take every word at its primary, ordinary, usual, literal meaning
Unless the facts of the immediate context, studied in the light
Of related passages and axiomatic and fundamental truths indicate clearly otherwise.’
Is Cooper speaking specifically of Apocryphal Scripture? Or is that a more general principle?
All scripture.
