About this title

From the Inside Flap:

"These booklets from Rob Plummer are a gift to the church of Jesus Christ. Few can take the fruits of faithful scholarship and serve them in an eminently accessible form for the benefit of the church. Rob Plummer succeeds admirably at this very point. These booklets have my highest recommendation."
-Jason C. Meyer, Pastor of Preaching & Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, MN

"Plummer is a clear and evenhanded guide to foundational and complex interpretational issues."
-Andy Naselli, Research Manager for D.A. Carson, Administrator of Themelios

"This excellent introduction to interpreting the Bible provides me with an answer to the question I am so often asked: 'Can you help me understand the Bible? I don't know how to read it or make sense of it.' Plummer's short but substantive explanation of the basic principles for biblical interpretation will prove to be an immensely practical resource for the body of Christ.  Highly recommended!"
-Sam Storms, Senior Pastor, Bridgeway Church, Oklahoma City, OK
