Reviews

[Seth]

If you are already convinced of the importance of application then just read chapters 4 and 5. These chapters explain the pyramid method of interpretation. This is a detailed and clear approach to application for beginners. Longtime students of the Bible will also be helped.

Provides a practical framework in appropriating biblical text.
