Understanding And Applying The Bible

Plot

Because most preachers prepare their sermons from English-text Bibles, J. Robertson McQuilken felt a great need for an English-based textbook with guidelines to help the serious student of the Bible understand and apply scripture with confidence. Designed to enable Bible students to create their own commentaries, this book teaches principles of interpretation that are both "simple" (not dependent on prior knowledge of biblical exegesis) and scholarly, built directly upon the way Bible authors viewed scripture. Because practical application is crucial to complete learning, the major portion of the study examines the practical skills necessary to put those principles to work. - Back cover.
