DESCRIPTION

The Handbook for Biblical Interpretation, Second Edition provides a comprehensive guide to methods, vocabulary, concepts, schools, and history of biblical interpretation. 

Articles, arranged alphabetically, explain scholarly terminology used to interpret and understand the Bible as literature, clarify the various methods Bible scholars use to study biblical texts, and illuminate how different interpretive approaches can contribute to our understanding. Article references and topical bibliographies point readers to resources for further study. 

The Handbook, now updated and revised to be even more useful for students is a suitable complement to any standard hermeneutics textbook.
