Introduction to Biblical Interpretation : Participating in God's Story of Redemption

This introduction to biblical interpretation expands the interpretive task to encompass both comprehension of the Bible's content and active participation in God's redemptive plan.

The authors help readers engage with the beauty of God's Word and read it holistically for their intellectual and spiritual growth.

They address the nature of interpretation; emphasize the Holy Spirit's role in the production, interpretation, and application of the Bible as a communication of the triune God; and explore the Bible's genres and historical contexts through the lens of God's redemptive story.

They also provide principles and accessible guidelines for biblical interpretation in global contexts, including a simple outline for beginning students to follow as they start interpreting and applying Scripture.

Above all, the authors emphasize the transformative nature of reading Scripture. This series reflects the changing face of global Christianity.

Series volumes highlight themes of interest to Pentecostal/Charismatic students; however, the books are respectful and inclusive of a variety of church traditions.

Series editors are Jerry Ireland, Paul W. Lewis, and Frank D. Macchia.
