In order to understand and appreciate contemporary evangelicalism, it is important to become familiar with modern evangelical Bible interpreters. The editors have produced a survey of thirty-five twentieth-century evangelical biblical scholars to provide an illuminating glimpse into the lives of thirty-five influential biblical interpreters. These interpreters represent different denominational and theological perspectives. In examining the life and legacy of these evangelicals, each entry includes biographical facts, theological development, scholarly contributions, and evaluations. Bible Interpreters of the 20th Century makes a solid reference resource for scholars, students, and pastors.
