Looking to study that Bible as it was meant to be read?
This book introduces readers to the field of evangelical hermeneutics
Interpreting the God-Breathed Word helps you know the Bible as truly God-breathed
Aaron Lewendon
Bibles & Bible Study Specialist
Christians often affirm that "Scripture is God's Word." But what do they truly mean by this affirmation, and why should it radically change the way they read and study Scripture? If Scripture is God's Word, it is necessarily the God-breathed Word of who God is: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Over the past few decades, a number of evangelical theologians and biblical scholars have become convinced that responsible biblical hermeneutics must, to some extent, pivot on the notion that the Bible is a form of divine communication. This biblical interpretation textbook provides an accessible introduction to the latest approaches in evangelical hermeneutics. Having many years' experience teaching hermeneutics to undergraduates, Robbie Castleman explains complex themes in an engaging way. She addresses all the current schools of thought in contemporary evangelical hermeneutics and incorporates recent important trends in biblical interpretation.
Interpreting the God-Breathed Word helps students recognize the living Word as they read and study Scripture as an act of being engaged by the triune God of grace who breathed and still breathes "the Word of the Lord." The book will also appeal to pastors and Bible study leaders.
