'anderson finally producing their bible' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'stokes stopping broad and' is the wordplay.
'stokes' becomes 's' (this might be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'stopping' indicates putting letters inside (stopping can mean blocking a gap).
'broad' becomes 'wide' (synonyms).
'and' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and').
's' placed within 'wide' is 'wisde'.
'wisde'+'n'='WISDEN'

Can you help me to learn more?
