Hermeneutics: Principles and Processes of Biblical Interpretation

If nonspecialists learn the correct principles and processes for hermeneutics, much more accurate and helpful biblical interpretation can be accomplished. Hermeneutics gives the reader not only an understanding of the principles of proper biblical interpretation but also the ability to apply those principles in sermon preparation, personal Bible study, or writing. This popular book outlines a fivestep hermeneutical procedure that includes: (1) historicalcultural and contextual analysis, (2) lexicalsyntactical analysis, (3) theological analysis, (4) genre identification and analysis, and (5) application. The second edition includes updated material covering developments in hermeneutics over the past twenty years.
