In All the Scriptures

<P><B>Biblical Foundations Book Awards Finalist</B></P><P><B>No one reads the Bible without some interpretive principles or hermeneutics in place.</B> The question every student of Scripture needs to ask then is this: Are your interpretive principles and methods legitimate and ethical?</P><P>In this accessible introduction to biblical hermeneutics Nicholas G. Piotrowski presents an approach that explores three layers of context: literary historical and christological. Because no text exists in the abstract interpreters must seek to understand a passage's ecology: the flow and argument of the entire biblical book the world of the original author and audience and the movement of redemptive history that culminates in the person and work of Jesus Christ.</P><P>Careful interpretation is both a science and an art Piotrowski argues and it has powerful implications for what we believe and how we apply God's Word. Featuring numerous examples further reading lists and a glossary <I>In All the Scriptures</I> equips students pastors and thoughtful readers to build a solid foundation for interpreting the Bible.</P>
