Description

Reading the Bible Wisely: An Introduction to Taking Scripture Seriously. Revised Edition by Richard S. Briggs This introductory book explores how the Bible itself provides the resources to read it wisely. It examines the basic questions of reading in context, including historical, literary, and theological perspectives, as well as the significance of the two-testament structure of the Christian Bible. The book also considers how the Bible can shape a wise doctrine of Scripture and how various hermeneutical perspectives contribute to reading the Bible wisely. New to this revised edition are chapters addressing the importance of the Old Testament, the performative function of Scripture, and how reading Scripture actually helps form the reader. The aim is to explore key questions critical to reading the Bible in a way that is both generous and constructive, without oversimplifying core theological issues. By examining the Bible's own resources and principles, Briggs provides a thoughtful and comprehensive introduction to reading the Bible wisely.
