Digital Logos Edition
This comprehensive, conversational book is for anyone who wants to understand and apply the Bible—and the New Testament in particular—in a responsible, well-informed, and God-glorifying way. Naselli is an able guide, walking readers through a carefully field-tested twelve-stage interpretive process that pastors, scholars, teachers, and laypeople can use with benefit. With engaging illustrations and practical answers at their fingertips, readers will master the skills needed to deepen understanding and shape theology with confidence and wisdom.
“6. Take note of the biblical genre you are reading.” (Page 17)
“7. Be aware of historical or cultural background issues.” (Page 17)
“1. Don’t assume that the stories in the parables themselves are historical.” (Page 26)
“4. Pay special attention to a parable’s historical and literary context.” (Page 27)
“6. Translate the main point into your own context.” (Page 27)
Skill in reading God’s Word serves the sweetness of relishing God’s glory. So choose your reading guides wisely. Andy Naselli is one of the best.
—John Piper, founder and teacher, Desiring God
A truly one-stop-shopping resource. An outstanding tool not likely ?to be superseded anytime soon.
—Craig L. Blomberg, distinguished professor of New Testament, Denver Seminary
An outstanding resource. [Naselli’s book] is wonderfully clear and accessible and hence interesting to read. At the same time, it is packed with information so that readers are instructed in the art of interpretation. There are many resources out there on how to interpret the Scriptures, but this is surely one of the best.
—Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation and associate dean, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
I cannot think of another introduction to New Testament exegesis that combines this degree of clarity and comprehensiveness, all with the design of helping us live in light of the gospel for the glory of God.
—Justin Taylor, executive vice president of book publishing and book publisher, Crossway
