Protestant Biblical Interpretation

Description

“Hermeneutics,” writes the author, “is the science and art of Biblical interpretation…As such it forms one of the most important members of the theological sciences.” After surveying the history of biblical interpretation, the author devotes seventy pages to explicating “the Protestant system of hermeneutics.” He then discusses the doctrinal, devotional, and practical use of the Bible. Following a chapter on the hermeneutical dimension of the problem of biblical inerrancy and secular science, he concludes with chapters on the interpretation of types, prophecy, and parables.
