BOOK DESCRIPTION
Interpreting the Bible is a comprehensive guide for believers who long to handle God’s Word with accuracy, reverence, and confidence. Grounded in the historical-grammatical method, this book equips readers to discover the single, Spirit-inspired meaning intended by the biblical authors, guarding against allegory, speculation, and modern distortions.
 
From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture speaks with clarity and authority. Yet faithful interpretation requires careful attention to words, grammar, historical context, and literary form. This volume walks readers through each major genre of the Bible—narrative, covenant law, poetry, psalms, proverbs, prophecy, idioms, parables, hyperbole, and epistles—showing how authorial intent governs meaning and how context safeguards truth.
 
Every chapter unfolds with clear exposition, examples from Scripture, application for the church today, and safeguards against error. At the end of each chapter, Review Questions reinforce key concepts, while Exercises in Interpretation (beginning in Chapter 5) train readers to apply the principles directly to the biblical text.
 
Written with both pastors and everyday Christians in mind, this book is accessible yet uncompromising. It calls the church back to the sufficiency, authority, and clarity of God’s Word, reminding believers that the task of interpretation is not optional but essential for sound doctrine, faithful worship, and holy living.
 
Whether you are preaching, teaching, or studying for personal growth, Interpreting the Bible will equip you to rightly handle the Word of Truth and to stand firm in a time when Scripture is too often misused or neglected.
