Over 250,000 Copies Sold! Learn the Commonsense Approach to Studying Scripture The Bible is the written Word of God, and it is treasured by many. But it is also an ancient book about people and cultures very different than us. While we know we should read it, many of us have a hard time understanding the Bible. In this expanded edition of Knowing Scripture with a preface by J. I. Packer, R. C. Sproul helps us uncover the meaning of Scripture for ourselves. The author says, "The theme of this book is not how to read the Bible but how to study the Bible." He presents in simple, basic terms a commonsense approach to studying Scripture and eleven practical guidelines for biblical interpretation and applying what we learn. Sproul tackles many of the knotty questions regarding interpreting the Bible, including discovering the meanings of biblical words; understanding Hebrew poetry, proverbs and parables; approaching historical and didactic passages; being careful with predictive prophecy; discerning how culture conditions the Bible; and choosing and using Bible translations, commentaries, Bible software, and other study aids. This classic book is a must-have for both beginning Bible readers and experienced students of Scripture. Get the tools to study and apply Scripture with clarity and confidence with Knowing Scripture.
