5 stars (Makes the Bible More relevant and fun To Read) - A great help in understanding the Bible and applying it to today's culture. Prevents making serious errors in interpreting scripture.
5 stars (An Excellent and Informative Book) - This is an excellent primer for those concerned with understanding the Bible and making applications in one's life of Biblical teachings. This eminently readable book is good scholarship authored by two theologians in the evangelical tradition. The thrust of the book is spelled out in the title, "How to Read the Bible." The authors do not insist on a particular interpretation, but show the reader HOW to go about discovering comtemporary meaning and application from these ancient documents and how to avoid faulty hermeneutics. I cannot recommend it too highly.
5 stars (great resource) - This is a great book to own if you are a serious student of the Bible. It is extremely helpful in understanding various types of books in the Bible. The title is exactly right - it helps you read the Bible for all its worth. I read it through, but I will continue to use it as I study. |
