Overview
Learn interpretation methods or refresh your knowledge. Understand the Bible better than ever before. Absorb the methods behind commentators’ works—and the history that led to the formation of their methods. This designed-for-digital resource combines the expertise of a highly educated research team with the interconnectivity of your Logos software and library. Each volume is your guidebook for self-study and deeper research, and the foundation for sharing with others through professionally designed slides.
The Lexham Methods Series enables pastors to learn, refresh, or master the tools of biblical scholarship—and feel confidently equipped to share the materials with others. This resource will deepen and reinforce seminary and Bible students’ understanding of materials presented in class and enable them to conduct more extensive research. Serious learners will gain the same breadth and depth of knowledge as intensive Bible college courses without the imposing schedule and expense of graduate school.
