Knowing Scripture

Presents a clear, commonsense approach to studying Scripture Includes eleven practical rules for biblical interpretation 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 from us. Thus, while we know we should read it, many of us have a hard time understanding the Bible. In this updated edition of Knowing Scripture, R. C. Sproul helps us dig out 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 gives eleven practical guidelines for biblical interpretation and applying what we learn. Knowing Scriptureis a basic book for both beginning Bible readers and experienced students of Scripture.
