For the Love of God's Word

An Introduction to Biblical Interpretation.
Built on the premise that every passage requires careful scrutiny of its
historical setting, literary dimension, and theological message, this volume
teaches a simple threefold method that is applicable to every passage of
Scripture regardless of genre. In addition, the book sets forth specific
strategies for interpreting the various genres of Scripture, from poetry to
epistle to prophecy. A final chapter is devoted to helpful Bible study
resources that will equip the reader to apply Scripture to life.
This book will serve as a standard text for interpreting Scripture that is both
academically responsible and accessible for pastors, teachers, and college
students. This volume will enable students of Scripture to grow in love for
God's Word as they grow in the disciplines of study and discernment.
For the Love of God's Word is an abridged, less technical version of
Kostenberger and Patterson's acclaimed Invitation to Biblical Interpretation.
Students, teachers, and pastors alike will find this introduction to biblical
hermeneutics to be an accessible resource with both breadth and substance.
An invaluable guide for the student working through the labyrinth of " issues that make up the task of biblical interpretation. - Grant Osborne"
