Knowing Scripture

The Bible is the written Word of God, and it is treasured by many. But
it is also an ancient book about people and cultures very different than us.
Thus, while we know we should read it, many of us have a hard time
understanding the Bible.



In this expanded edition of Knowing Scripture, R. C. Sproul helps us
dig out the meaning of Scripture for ourselves. The author says, The " theme of this book is not how to read the Bible but how to study the
Bible. He presents in simple, basic terms a commonsense approach to " studying Scripture and gives eleven practical guidelines for biblical
interpretation and applying what we learn. With a minimum of technical jargon,
Sproul tackles some of the knotty questions regarding differences of
interpreting the Bible, including


"
* discovering the meanings of
biblical words
"
* understanding Hebrew
poetry, proverbs and parables
"
* approaching historical and
didactic passages
"
* being careful with
predictive prophecy
"
* discerning how culture
conditions the Bible
"
* choosing and using Bible
translations, commentaries, Bible software and other helps



Now with a new preface, Knowing Scripture is a basic book for both
beginning Bible readers and experienced students of Scripture.
