Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive guide to the principles and rules for interpreting the Old and New Testaments. As the author explains, such guidance is needed to ensure that the reader or student discovers the true meaning of the scriptures rather than imposing their own personal interpretations or biases. Hence, the book draws upon centuries of Biblical scholarship to elucidate the history and philosophies of Biblical interpretation. The author guides the reader through the many different methods of interpretation, from the literal and grammatical to the spiritual and allegorical. The book includes reflections on the danger of misinterpretation as well as tools to help the reader avoid this pitfall and approach the scriptures with the correct mindset. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
