Synopsis

Exciting approaches to biblical interpretation are introduced in this volume by contributors who have already distinguished themselves as leaders in the field of New Testament studies. Each chapter introduces a particular approach to New Testament interpretation and demonstrates how that approach can be used by students and pastors in fruitful work with the New Testament. Five texts from different parts of the New Testament are used as sample texts throughout the book in order to facilitate understanding of the differences among the interpretive strategies.

Review:

From reviews of the first edition

Religious Studies Review
"Highly recommended for supplementary reading in NT classes. Its general accuracy, moderation, freedom from bias, and concision are welcome."

Interpretation
"Beautifully written and edited, deceptively sophisticated, and uncommonly rich in insights into biblical interpretation."
