Praise for the Print Edition
The treatment is devout, sane, and well informed…The book will give light to those who are troubled at most of the passages discussed.
—John Wenham, Christian Arena
The quality of this study is academically high. The study of this little book will profit almost any mature Christian.
—L. Russ Bush, Southwestern Journal of Theology
Anyone who has tried to provide sanity and order to the hermeneutical montage that surfaces during home Bible studies will welcome this eminently readable book by Robert Stein. He writes for those new to the field of biblical interpretation, avoiding wherever possible technical terms and jargon, and clearly defining his terms when such language is unavoidable…What the reader will find helpful, especially when using this book for teaching purposes, is its numerous scriptural examples, timely illustrations and clarifying schematics. Teacher and student are served by the discussion questions at the end of each chapter…Stein has given us a most illuminating and helpful tool for guiding students of the Bible to a clear path leading to a more accurate interpretation and application of the Scriptures.
—James D. Hernando, Encounter Journal
