How to
interpret the Bible is an ongoing issue among believers today.
Whose interpretation is correct? How do we know? What
qualifications are needed to interpret the Bible
correctly? What is the difference between revelation,
inspiration, and illumination? What steps should be followed
in exegeting a Bible passage? These and other questions are
discussed discreetly in this work by a long-time student of
the Scriptures. This work is a helpful introductory tool to
Bible interpretation.

How should
Christians study the Bible? This question has enormous
implications. Rick Fugate has put into our hands a book that
challenges our comfort zones, consistently pointing us back to
Scripture itself for answers. The author’s commitment to the
sufficiency of Scripture, literal interpretation, inerrancy,
and the original languages, as well as to a clear distinction
between Israel and the Church and “true grace” are laid out as
presuppositions that can be biblically validated. May all
students profit from this challenge to search the Scriptures.

This
well-organized, plain-talking presentation is entirely
appropriate for home Bible studies, Sunday school classes, or
self-study purposes as well as for those with more academic
pedigrees who don't mind an occasional re-examination of their
presuppositions. (Acts 17:11) Far from being dry doctrine,
this book addresses a subject too often neglected in our
churches.

J. Richard Fugate's new publication will
guide you into a solid hermeneutic that will make you and
your students appreciate what Jesus meant when He said, 'Man
shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that
proceedeth out of the mouth of God.'
