Grasping God's Word

If you want to know how to really study the word of God without defaulting to your own interpretation, get this book. You will learn how not to take the word out of context (i.e. women can't be a Pastor, Peter had a dream that all meat can be consumed), understand what God is saying, and how to apply the word to now. I can't recommend this book enough. Get it, and learn how to handle the word of God.

Great for Anyone Serious about the Bible

I have learned so much about ancient writing styles from reading this book. For example, ancient writers were not focused on the chronological order, but the thematic order. I don't want to give away the milk for free, but there are so many ways that the authors did this. It has helped me tremendously when teaching Sunday School and to understand the Bible for myself. If you want to dig deeper, I would be hard-pressed to find a book that has helped me more in seminary than this one.

Great Book on How to Interpret the Bible

This is a wonderful, practical book on Hermeneutics, the art and science of interpretation. It gives you simple steps to easily unlock the meaning of Biblical passages. The book doesn't needlessly use technical terms and is very practical for your everyday Christian walk in reading Scripture. I personally have been able to use its principles in my personal devotional times, and I have never understood the Bible as much as I do now.
