How to Understand and Apply the Old and New Testaments (2 vols.)

The dual tasks of interpretation and application are essential for preaching, teaching, and living out the Christian life. Expert guides, Andy Naselli and Jason DeRouchie, explain how to understand the Christian Scriptures in their original setting and how universal truths found in these texts give guidance to believers today. They offer a twelve step process that views each text with a sequence of literary, linguistic, text critical, and author-centric interpretive lenses applied as a guideline for proper exegesis. In addition to their process, these authors also provide suggestions for secondary resources that affirm helpful biblical scholarship, leading readers to a chorus of likeminded interpreters.
