Product Description

▼▲

This book develops an integrated hermeneutic that connects the Bible to spiritual formation and the development of Christian virtues. J. De Waal Dryden shows how the whole Bible can be understood as a wisdom text that directs its readers morally, shapes them in their deepest affections and convictions, and impacts how they look at the world and live in it. Offering an innovative hermeneutical approach, it will serve as an ideal supplement to standard hermeneutics textbooks.
