Every time we read the Bible, we’re reading in the presence of God. How should this incredible truth shape how we read?
Moving quickly from principle to practice, Vern Poythress helps us rethink how we interpret the Bible by showing us the implications of entering into God’s presence as we study. This handbook outlines distinct steps for practicing faithful biblical interpretation by focusing on our fellowship with the God who speaks to us through his Word.
- Argues that the Bible must be interpreted as both a human and divine document
- Advocates for an explicitly Christ-centered approach to biblical interpretation
- Serves as a comprehensive resource, exploring a host of topics related to hermeneutics
- Author holds six academic degrees and is considered an expert in multiple fields of study
