Synopsis

The Bible is the written Word of God, and it is treasured by many. But it is also an ancient book about people and cultures very different than us. Thus, while we know we should read it, many of us have a hard time understanding the Bible. In this updated edition of Knowing Scripture, R. C. Sproul helps us dig out the meaning of Scripture for ourselves. The author says, "The theme of this book is not how to read the Bible but how to study the Bible." He presents in simple, basic terms a commonsense approach to studying Scripture and gives eleven practical guidelines for biblical interpretation and applying what we learn. With a minimum of technical jargon, Sproul tackles some of the knotty questions regarding differences of interpreting the Bible.

Was a good little book, only 125 pages long but had a great amount of content. This book showed first of all the importance of studying God's Word and then gave practical rules to use while doing so. Chapter 4 alone is worth reading this book! Will probably have to go back to this on occasion to impl......more

Goodreads review by Linda on January 12, 2025

This book is about basic Biblical hermaneutics principles and related topics. It made the topic of hermaneutics accessible to people like me who are not Bible scholars, but who still want to learn what's involved with interpreting the Bible. Ideally the Bible wouldn't need interpretation but you know......more
