Reading the Word of God in the Presence of God

A Handbook for Biblical Interpretation

About this book

Biblical interpretation is typically viewed as concerned with understanding the human author's intended meaning. However, for Christians, the Bible is first and foremost  God's Word and must be understood in that light. Helping Christians approach the Bible with God in mind, this book sets forth a more nuanced approach to biblical interpretation that pays attention to both the human  and divine origins of these sacred texts. Whether it's reviewing the three basic steps of interpretation or emphasizing the importance of paying attention to the Christ-centered character of both the Old and New Testaments, this book is a much-needed resource for the church as it wrestles to defend the authority of Scripture in our increasingly relativistic world.
