The who, why, and how of interpretation. Welcome to the hermeneutical triad: history, literature, and theology -- Interpretation: the hermeneutical triad. The context of scripture: history. Setting the stage: historical-cultural background -- The focus of scripture: literature. The Old Testament canon: the law, the prophets, and the writings -- The New Testament canon: the gospels, Acts, epistles, and apocalypse -- Enjoying a good story: Old Testament historical narrative -- A word from the wise: poetry and wisdom -- Back to the future: prophecy -- Hearing the good news: New Testament historical narrative (gospels and Acts) -- Calling for discernment: parables -- Going by the letter: epistles -- Visions of the end: apocalyptic literature (Revelation) -- The importance of context: grammar, syntax, and discourse -- The meaning of words: linguistics, semantics, and exegetical fallacies -- A way of speaking: interpreting figurative language -- The goal: theology. Making the connection: getting our theology from the Bible -- Application and proclamation: God's word coming to life. Getting down to earth: using the tools, preaching and applying the word.
Summary: "Bible scholars Andreas Kstenberger (NT) and Richard Patterson (OT) provide seminarians and upper-level collegians a textbook utilizing the 'hermeneutical triad' method. This approach to interpretation is based on giving due consideration to both the historical setting and the literary context, as well the theological message. Working through the major genres of Scripture and showing how their method applies to each one, they provide interpretive examples to guide the student in proper exegesis. In addition to the examples, each chapter concludes with exercises and assignments. Also included is a helpful 'Building a Biblical Studies Library' appendix" --
