Presentation

The Bible sometimes seems difficult to understand and far from our daily experiences. How do you determine what the author wanted to convey to his readers? What are the points to observe, the questions to ask and the steps to follow to correctly interpret what God wants to tell us today?

Nigel Beynon and Andrew Sach provide us with a valuable toolkit for discovering the meaning and wisdom of any passage of Scripture. Their guidance helps us develop strong beliefs about teaching the Word of God. Authors teach us to find nuggets where we might not have suspected them and to translate the text into our context without betraying the author's intention. Finally, they encourage us to apply the Word to transform our lives.

In a modern and straightforward style, each of the 17 tools is explained and illustrated by many practical cases. As the pages unfold, the general message of the Bible is revealed. This book will become essential for training serious readers and students of the Bible.

This book will help you:

  • Interpret a passage from the Bible correctly.
  • Develop useful habits for studying scripture.
  • Defy common mistakes in interpreting the Bible.
  • Live with confidence and share Bible truths with conviction.

Highlights of the book

  • Educational : each tool is explained and illustrated by detailed examples.
  • Accessible : texts and graphics understandable by all (adults and young people).
  • Practice : an index of the 17 tools to insert in your Bible.

Public

  • Those who read and interpret the Bible.
  • Pastors / leaders and students / readers of the Bible.
