Biblical Hermeneutics

This book has a lot of amazing information inside but very hard to get through...very technical. This book is more for a seminary student or someone who is looking for further education on biblical hermeneutics.


I am going to use it for a reference book when I need a reminder on issues regarding biblical interpretation but if you are a beginner, do not pick this book up before you pick up "Living By the Book" by Howard and William Hendricks. I would read that book first as it is comprehensive as well, but a much easier first edition to a library than this book.


That said, don't skip out on this book as it will give you a lot of very good insight on how to correctly interpret the word of God. It goes through not only the basics of interpretation but also looks at the different ways that the prophets, writers of the Old Testament books, apostles and Christ taught and put together their thoughts as they spoke in their day. Recommended but not for your first hermeneutical book. Link to Buy
