  Holy Scriptures

  $19.99

  The ancient stories, poems, prophecies, and customs of the Bible have been interpreted in so many different ways for so many different contexts, times, and purposes. How can we find a stable meaning for any passage? Is biblical interpretation solely dependent on the beliefs and values of the interpreter?

  Stephen G. Green addresses these questions and offers a responsible approach to studying the Bible. Exploring worldviews, the value-shaping function of words, and the role of the reader, the author skillfully points the way to bridging the gap between the historical context of the Bible and the present-day context of the reader. He introduces readers to the methods and tools needed to successfully understand and embody the transforming message of Scripture.

  The Wesleyan Theology Series aims to discuss Christian doctrines in easy to understand language that states clearly what Christians believe and why. Each volume is written by an author with a particular expertise who also has the ability to simplify and clarify complex issues. This 13-book series is written specifically for the theologically curious layperson, student, or pastor.
