Basic Bible Interpretation

Narrated by: Tom Parks

BASIC BIBLE INTERPRETATION

Can the Bible really be understood?

Are Old Testament prophecies relevant for today?

How can I understand the symbolism of the Book of Revelation?

What is the relationship of the Old Testament to the New Testament?

Why study Bible interpretation? Dr. Roy Zuck points out that it is vital for understanding and teaching the Bible properly, critical as a step beyond observation, and essential for applying the Bible correctly.

He discusses the challenge, problems, and history of Bible interpretation, and defines key terms—all in a practical, down-to-earth way.

Though Dr. Zuck's many years of teaching and scholarship are evident in this book, he has written in language understandable to all who are serious about biblical study and who want to know better what Scripture means.

Critic reviews

Basic Bible Interpretation lives up to its title. It deals with the basics and doesn't confuse the reader with extraneous material. It focuses on the Bible as the Word of God and handles that Word with "reverence and godly fear." It tells us how to interpret this marvelous Book, and even gives the reader opportunity to put the principles into practice. In every way, this book is a practical tool for the serious student who wants to study the Bible and apply its truths.

(Warren W. Wiersbe, author and pastor)

Having taught and written in the area of hermeneutics for almost thirty years, I am convinced that there is no more important course in the seminary curriculum for training in the Scriptures. As Roy Zuck has so ably demonstrated, we cannot know the message of the Bible for today until we know its meaning. Dr. Zuck's work is intensely biblical and comprehensive but at the same time it is simple and uncomplicated. This is a book we have needed for many years and I praise the Lord that it is now available.

(Earl D. Radmacher, chancellor, professor of Systematic Theology Western Seminary)

At last! A book on hermeneutics you can understand. Dr. Zuck has drawn heavily on his many years of teaching in the seminary classroom to present an excellent treatise on biblical interpretation. While this book will be well received in the classroom, it is one that I will be wholeheartedly recommending to my congregation. While the scholarship is clearly present, it is nevertheless most readable and understandable by the average layperson. This book will make a valuable contribution to your ability to comprehend the Scriptures. (Louis A. Barbieri, senior pastor Des Plaines Bible Church, Des Plaines, Illinois)
