The Interpretation of Holy Scripture: Issues, Principles, Models: An Introduction to Hermeneutics
Walter M. Dunnett cuts through centuries of hermeneutical debate with this balanced guide to basic Bible interpretation. His clear, direct approach emphasizes how to develop interpretative skills rather than what to believe. "Not only do we need to practice exegesis of the text to discover what the original writer meant," says Dunnett, "but to exercise discernment in judging what is enduring and what is contingent. We study the past, not simply to discover the old, but the eternal." With no doctrinal ax to grind, Dunnett gives scholars, students and general readers valuable tools for understanding Scripture.
