Description and Table of Contents

Description

Written by a group of eminent scholars and teachers, The Art of Reading Scripture clearly restates the proper approach to and goal of reading Scripture. Chapters range from theological principles for understanding the Bible to studies of ways the Bible has been interpreted in the past to examples of good exegesis. Also included are several model sermons on the subject. Above all, The Art of Reading Scripture shows that the Bible is neither a mere historical curiosity nor a therapeutic self-help manual but, first and foremost, the story of God's gracious rescue of our lost and broken world.
