Excellent Book on Understanding Scripture

The author helps the reader rightly divide the Word of God and understand what the human author of Scripture is trying to say. The idea is that if the Bible is the final authority, we must find out exactly what it is saying. If we misinterpret the Bible, we become the final authority. Very good stuff for teachers, preachers, and even laymen.

A help for hermeneutics

Need help understanding what the Bible says? This book is the basics of Hermeneutics (the science of interpretation). It reviews all biblical genres of literature including poetry, prophesy, didactic, and narratives. Also, interpretation is not finished until the interpreter has applied the truths to his own life. This book also shows you how to rightly divide the word of truth in proper application to yourself.

Incredible!

I used this text in a biblical hermenuetics course at my college, and it was one of the most satisfying and meaningful courses I have taken. McQuilkin's book was the basis of it. Clear, insightful, and delightfully correct! Highly recommended.
