Introductory Resources
I promised that I would give you some additional study resources, here they are. These will serve as an introduction to the hermeneutical (Bible study) process and help you to think more systematically when studying. I hope these are helpful, Thursday I’ll post the resources for researching historical and literary context. I’m working to make sure that pos will go up right after class and not a week later.
A Basic Guide is very approachable, very easy to understand, and a great introduction for anyone new to this. I would suggest Grasping God’s Word as a great introductory tool that is very comprehensive (more than Basic Guide) yet approachable. This was my wife’s hermeneutic’s textbook in college. The final book A General Introduction to the Bible will help you to understand how we got the Bible in its current form and is a good primer on the theology concerning God’s word. This book is a little dated and has more information than you would care for, but it is very readable.
