Basic Guide To Interpreting The Bible, A by Robert H. Stein

Playing by the Rules

An accessible introduction to biblical hermeneutics that teaches readers to interpret Scripture according to its historical-cultural context, literary features, and genre. It presents clear “rules” for reading narratives, poetry, parables, epistles, prophecy, and apocalyptic, clarifies the distinction between meaning and significance, and emphasizes authorial intent, careful exegesis over eisegesis, and the Spirit’s role in understanding. Practical examples and step-by-step guidance show how to move from accurate interpretation to wise, faithful application.
