Life is a journey, and like any journey, it requires an accurate and reliable map to take us where we need to go. God has provided us with such a guide in His Word. However, just as a navigator needs to learn how to interpret all the contours and symbols on a map, so too do we need to be able to understand how the Bible communicates its directions to us. Exploring God's Word helps Bible students acquire the necessary skills to successfully read, interpret, and apply it to life. This compendium of the successful university and seminary textbook Grasping God's Word takes the proven principles of that book and makes them accessible to people in the church. It begins with some general principles of interpretation and then goes on to apply those principles to specific genres and contexts. Practical exercises guide readers through the interpretation process, with an emphasis on real-life application.
