Description: R. C. Sproul helps us dig out the meaning of Scripture for ourselves. He lays the groundwork by discussing why we should study the Bible and how our own personal study relates to interpretation. Then he presents in simple, basic terms the science of interpretation and gives practical guidelines for applying this science.

Here is a basic book for both beginning Bible readers and those who have been at it for a long time. With his usual common sense and bubbling enthusiasm, Sproul explores why every Christian should study the Bible and why so many get discouraged. He then offers clear explanations of the basic steps of interpretation and gives simple how-to's for using them. Excellent for beginning Bible readers. R.C. Sproul outlines the principles of textual interpretation of the Bible, offers guidelines for personal application, investigates the role of culture in biblical relevation, and discusses the use of paraphrases, concordances, commentaries, and expositions.

If I were the devil," writes J. I. Packer, "one of my first aims would be to stop folks from digging into the Bible...I should do all I could to surround it with the spiritual equivalent of pits, thorns, hedges and mantraps...But I should be very far from pleased to see this book by R. C. Sproul."
