| Résumé : | Organized around common FAQs, 40 Questions About Interpreting the Bible tackles the major questions about biblical hermeneutics (i.e., how to interpret and understand the Bible). Robert Plummer provides background information for getting started and general considerations for interpretation, and then examines specific genres and issues in recent studies of hermeneutics. The format of the book allows readers to pick and choose what issues are most pertinent to their interests and needs. Thought-provoking discussion questions after each topic make this ideal for both personal and group study. |
