Product Description

The authors of this book have combined years of expertise and devotion to Scripture to provide a truly unique volume that sets forth concise, logical, practical guidelines for discovering the truth in God's Word. Ten years after its initial publication, the authors now have thoroughly updated it in light of the latest scholarship.

"This is a remarkably comprehensive study of the whole area of biblical interpretation. Thoroughly evangelical, it also interacts with nonevangelical interpretational stances. No other volume available on biblical interpretation does so much so well."- Douglas Stuart, Professor of Old Testament, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

Ingram

The authors define and describe hemeneutics, the science of Bible interpretation, and suggest effective methods to understand the meaning of any biblical text. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars The best evangelical work on the subject that I have seen, Jun 29 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Introduction to Biblical Interpretation (Hardcover)

All in all, very good. From a conservative perspective the authors discuss the major issues of biblical interpretation, including applying hisorical criticism and modern hermeneutical theories to the Scriptural text. Though conservative, it is not fundamentalistic. The authors provide a balanced treatment of most subjects and give good principles and examples of doing careful exegesis. This would be an excellent work to use in an intro. to biblical literature class. My one reservation is that not enough attention was given to Patristic and medieval exegesis and its modern day application to Scripture. Also, the Treatment of the Deutero-Canonical books and the question of the Canonicity of Scripture was superficial and inaccurate. Catholic and Orthodox readers should keep this in mind when reviewing this book. To conclude, though it has the deficiencies mentioned above and could not serve as a standard for Catholic and Orthodox exegesis, it is a refreshing work that shows that not all evangelical protestants are biblical obscurantists who are unable to engage in dialogue with modern biblical scholarship and present well-reasoned opinions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Introductory Hermeneutics Book I Have Read, July 31 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Introduction to Biblical Interpretation (Hardcover)

Klein, Blomberg, and Hubbard, Jr., have created an extremely well-informed, easily understood volume on the hairy topic of Biblical Hermeneutics. I truly believe that every Biblical exegete should have this book in their library.

1.0 out of 5 stars Abismal, Jun 25 2004

By	A Customer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Introduction to Biblical Interpretation (Hardcover)

It's not often that I completely hate a book, let alone a book on a subject I am as interested in as Hermeneutics. However, this is one that I can honestly say I completely hate. The authors articulate a wonderfully predictable conservative account of hermeneutics, never attempting to question the fundamentalist party line by considering any of the major philosophical voices in contemporary philosopy and theology. The best they do is cite E.D. Hirsch to claim that we can verify that we have recovered the "original meaning" of the text.

Perhaps the part of this book that bothered me the most was the author's treatment of presuppositions. First they acknowledge that we cannot get rid of our presuppositions, but then the proceed for the rest of the book as if they have done exactly that. This is so characterisic of evangelical hermeneutics that it isn't even funny anymore. On this issue, readers that want a good treatment of presuppositions in hermeneutics should read James K.A. Smith's "The Fall of Interpretation."

Frankly, it seems that the authors of this book simply are unaware of what is really going on in the field of hermeneutics today, and thus have written a book that might have been helpful 30 years ago but was dated the moment it was published.

There is certainly some educational material in the book. The discussions of biblical genres are ok, if pretty artificial. On the whole, however this book is an exercise in wasting time. This is not to say that there is not good stuff on hermeneutics being done by evangelicals. Grant Osborne's "The Hermeneutical Spiral" is an excellent book that far surpasses this one, while still covering all the same material. Also, the works of Kevin Vanhoozer on Hermeneutics are among the most cutting edge works being done today in the field. Those inerested in Hermeneutics should consult these authors and forget about this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars This book suffers from a lack of good philosophy
In a very general sense this is a good book. However, the authors suffer from a lack of good philosophy. Let me explain. Read more
