BASIC BIBLE INTERPRETATION



Can the Bible really be understood?

Are Old Testament prophecies relevant for today?

How can I understand the symbolism of the Book of Revelation?

What is the relationship of the Old Testament to the New Testament?



Why study Bible interpretation? Dr. Roy Zuck points out that it is essential for understanding and teaching the Bible properly, essential as a step beyond observation, and essential for applying the Bible correctly.



He discusses the challenges of Bible interpretation, considers the problems of Bible interpretation, explores the history of Bible interpretation, and defines key terms--all in a practical, down-to-earth way.



Though Dr. Zuck's many years of teaching and scholarship are evident in this book, he has written in language understandable to all who are serious about bible study and who want to know better what Scripture means.
