Description

Understanding the Bible: A Guide to Correct Interpretation Despite owning at least one Bible, many people struggle to understand its teachings. In fact, only 59% of Americans read the Bible regularly, and even fewer take the time to study it. This lack of understanding can lead to misinterpretation and misapplication of biblical texts, a problem that veteran professor Richard L. Schultz calls "interpretive malpractice". In Out of Context, Schultz sets out to explain how biblical interpretation goes wrong and how to get it right. He introduces readers to key concepts such as context, word meaning, genre, and the differences between the world of the Bible and our own. By gaining a deeper understanding of these principles, readers can enhance their Scripture reading and gain a more profound appreciation for the Bible. By exploring the fascinating world of biblical interpretation, Schultz offers a powerful and positive message that will enrich your understanding of the Scriptures.
