Christian Hermeneutics: Bible Study Interpretation and Methods

by Norman W. Mathers, Ph.D.

This volume provides a rigorous yet accessible introduction to the field of Christian hermeneutics. Designed for students, pastors, and serious readers of Scripture, it offers:

A historical survey of hermeneutical approaches from the early Church to the present.

An analysis of philosophical, allegorical, and literal methods of interpretation.

Practical guidance for personal Bible study grounded in the historical-grammatical method.

Outlines of both Old and New Testament books to aid the interpreter.

Rejecting the subjective tendencies of modern philosophical hermeneutics, this work affirms Scripture as the inerrant Word of God. It equips the reader with the principles necessary to move from observation to accurate interpretation and faithful application.

Written in a clear, academic style, this book is a valuable resource for Bible students who seek a solid foundation in the study of God's Word.
