#methodology

Who knows the minds of men and how they reason and what their methodology is? But I am not going to extrapolate from the General Conference backing out on my book and make it a personal issue. ↗

Historical methodology, as I see it, is a product of common sense applied to circumstances. ↗

Verbal and nonverbal activity is a unified whole, and theory and methodology should be organized or created to treat it as such. ↗
