Reading the Bible Wisely

Many people, when making resolutions decide Bible reading would be a good one. Some even set goals, such as reading the Bible in a year, ninety days, or even two weeks. When facing it however, that great book can often be frankly intimidating, some versions more than others. The language and history are often alien to the modern reader, and the whole task become daunting in a fairly short time.***** The author has recognized this dilema and in this short volume attempts to give the reader of any level a short course in hermaneutics, the art and science of Biblical interpretation. Though he gives an overview of the whole book, he focuses primarily on the books of James, Romans, Luke, and Revelation. With sharp insight and humor, Mr. Briggs helps even those familiar with Scripture become more so.
