A help for hermeneutics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Need help understanding what the Bible says? This book is the basics of Hermeneutics (the science of interpretation). It reviews all biblical genres of literature including poetry, prophesy, didactic, and narratives. Also, interpretation is not finished until the interpreter has applied the truths to his own life. This book also shows you how to rightly divide the word of truth in proper application to yourself.
Incredible!

I used this text in a biblical hermenuetics course at my college, and it was one of the most satisfying and meaningful courses I have taken. McQuilkin's book was the basis of it. Clear, insightful, and delightfully correct! Highly recommended.
