Abstract

Scriptural Reasoning is many things. It is study, of course.

Notes

  1. There are three version of Piers Plowman that scholars label the A, B, and C versions. The C text is the final and longest version. The quotes are my modernizations of Langland’s archaic English as found in the edition of the C text prepared by Derek Pearsall, Piers Plowman by William Langland (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1978).
