A Basic Guide to Interpreting the Bible
No one can read the Bible long before wondering what the Bible "means" and who or what determines that meaning. Moreover, no one can read the Bible without possessing some purpose in reading.

The author promises that they will acquire "an interpretative framework that will help them understand better the meaning of biblical texts and how to apply that meaning to their own life.
