Format:Paperback
This book is an excellent guide to how and how not to use your Bible. It is a useful resource for the preacher, giving many helpful hints into expository and experimental teaching.

If you don't believe me, the back caver material is provided by FF Bruce, one of Britain's leading evangelical theologians of the 20th Century. He says 'I do not remember reading any other book which gave so much help in the answering of these questions (concerning Biblical meaning and relevance) as this one does.'

A MUST read 2 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
If you want to understand the Bible within it's cultural context (exegesis) and how to apply it to your life (hermeneutics) - [yeah, glad I finally understand those 2 words :P] without going to bible school/college, this is the book for you. Easy to ride, and says a lot in a modest number of pages. It's a good guide that highlights key principles which based on the explanation, you for yourself can decide what you can take or leave. There were a few things I didn't fully agree with in the content, but for the most part, the rationale was acceptable. There were loads of references and suggested readings which I think may be helpful at some other time. But I think it's really good as a reference book all on it's own. And yes, if you do decide to go on to bible college, you can keep it handy as a student of English might keep a thesauraus.

By William Fross VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
The title says it all; but I would stress that this is not a book to read cover-to-cover. I would suggest instead reading the chapter that is appropriate to the part of the Bible that you are now reading, or want to study; for example, is it a gospel, and epistle, a psalm, Revelation, or something else? Each chapter points out key characteristics of the different forms of literature in the Bible, and the authors highlight issues such as different translations, ideological bias in interpretation, and so on.

Thought-provoking and stuffed with useful information, ideas and advice, this is something well worth having on your bookshelf.

This is a wonderful book on Biblical interpretation. It is understandable for lay people and is theologically orthodox. I recommend it to all true believers.
