How we read and understand the Scriptures today is the result of two thousand years of interpretation. Throughout history, communities with different worldviews sought to make the Scriptures relevant to their own time and place. The richness of this history gives us the range of interpretive approaches we now have today.
A History of Biblical Interpretation is three volumes following the methods of interpretation throughout the history of the Bible, starting with the formation of the Hebrew Scriptures all the way to the dawn of the twentieth century.
Detailed and extensive, this set was written by internationally renowned scholars who are experts in their subject. Each volume comprehensively treats the many different methods of interpretation, the many important interpreters who have written in various eras, and the many key issues that have surfaced repeatedly over the long course of biblical interpretation.
