Praise for the Print Edition
[A] helpful and accessible volume…Virkler deals with most of the key issues in hermeneutics…He does so in language that is understandable to non-specialists…His explication of the various hermeneutical approaches is evenhanded and readable. This would be an excellent text to teach hermeneutics in a church setting. Its accessibility, fair-mindedness, and quality make it a work with wide appeal. Recommended as an introduction to biblical study for any non-specialist.
—Steve W. Lemke, Southwestern Journal of Theology
A useful introduction to the field from a psychologist who teaches at the intersection of psychology and theology…[The] emphasis on practical application is a noteworthy goal which the author consistently addresses throughout the book…Several features of the book commend themselves. In 250 pages the author addresses the major topics which a textbook in a hermeneutics course must cover…His sensitivity to the fundamental hermeneutical problems of continuity-discontinuity…and cultural dynamics…is especially noteworthy. The chosen format is well suited to classroom use. It offers explicit goals stated at the head of each chapter, clear definitions, 'brain teasers,' summaries, practical 'exercises' (questions for discussion), and resource lists.
—Timothy S. Laniak, Bulletin for Biblical Research
This edition includes developments in hermeneutics over the past two decades. Written primarily as a textbook on biblical interpretation, it will be of value to church leaders who have never had any serious study in this area or who are looking for a refresher.
