FK: "Whenever the Bible is allowed to speak for itself, there is greater understanding."

You got audio books? :)

From the Prophet himself :). It also appears they are having a rather Christian sale. :)

If this book only method causes "greater understanding" why didn't our Lord send forth scribes instead of teachers?

He sent both at the same time. I have often referred to the authors of the Bible as "scribes" in the sense that they wrote down God's word exactly as He wanted it written down. Those same scribes, especially in the NT, also were great teachers. They taught in accordance with what they wrote, before and after. In my view, a teacher is only as good as the scripture he keeps to. Naturally, I believe that many of those coming after the Apostles veered away from that scripture to some degree.
