INTRODUCTION TO BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION: PARTICIPATING IN GOD'S STORY OF REDEMPTION (FOUNDATIONS FOR SPIRIT-FILLED CHRISTIANITY SERIES)

This introduction to biblical interpretation expands the interpretive task to encompass both comprehension of the Bible's content and active participation in God's redemptive plan. The authors guide readers to engage with the beauty of God's Word, reading it holistically for intellectual and spiritual growth. They discuss the nature of interpretation, emphasise the Holy Spirit's role in the production, interpretation, and application of Scripture as the communication of the triune God, and explore the Bible's genres and historical contexts within God's redemptive story. They provide principles and accessible guidelines for interpreting Scripture across global contexts, including a simple outline for new students. Above all, the authors stress the transformative nature of engaging with Scripture.

The Foundations for Spirit-Filled Christianity Series highlights themes relevant to Pentecostal and Charismatic students while being respectful and inclusive of a variety of church traditions. Series editors are Jerry Ireland, Paul W. Lewis, and Frank D. Macchia.
