Digital Logos Edition
Presents solid principles and clear examples of biblical interpretation. Doriani summarizes the main principles for interpretation in a single, easily remembered acronym: CAPTOR.
“Look for at least one believer, one unbeliever, and one undecided individual or group.” (Page 66)
“Remember that God is at least a background character in every biblical drama” (Page 66)
“In speech or pronouncement stories, therefore, we focus on speech, even if we are actually reading a narrative. The main point of the speech most often comes at the beginning or the end.” (Pages 63–64)
“5. To excel in application, one must combine the seemingly opposed faculties of discipline and imagination” (Page 129)
“Principle 1: Look for words and phrases that explicitly connect one idea to another.” (Page 81)
