Amended to reflect changes in the field of hermeneutics, this popular text provides a comprehensive overview of the science of explaining and exegeting Scripture. It scrutinizes literary, cultural, social, and historical issues; defines the role of the interpreter; establishes principles for understanding the function of literature; and considers modern life applications. Includes an annotated bibliography. 576 pages, hardcover from Nelson.
The authors of this book have combined years of expertise and devotion to Scripture to provide a truly unique volume that sets forth concise, logical, practical guidelines for discovering the truth in God’s Word. Ten years after its initial publication, the authors now have thoroughly updated it in light of the latest scholarship.
"This is a remarkably comprehensive study of the whole area of biblical interpretation. Thoroughly evangelical, it also interacts with nonevangelical interpretational stances. No other volume available on biblical interpretation does so much so well."- Douglas Stuart, Professor of Old Testament, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

This is a learned and thorough prescription for how Christians ought to approach Scripture. The authors are sensitive to pertinent issues in philosophy of language as well as the practical needs of Christian interpreters. There are strong insights on everything from the role of presuppositions in hermeneutics to the peculiar features of various biblical genres. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in becoming a better exegete and/or defending the possibility of hearing from the God who speaks in the biblical text.
