Witness Lee’s Impressions of Contact with Watchman Nee: 1925 - 1950

D. Knowing the Bible

In Witness Lee’s entire life he have never met another person who knew the Bible as deeply as Watchman Nee. Watchman Nee received much help from many of the finest Christian writers of past centuries, but he also stood upon their shoulders, seeing more things from the Scriptures than they did. He not only knew the letter of the Bible, but he also knew the Spirit of the Bible. He probed into the depths and touched the Spirit of the Scriptures. His knowledge of the Bible was filled with light and saturated with life. He had not only the objective view of the Scriptures but also the subjective experience of God’s Word.
