How to Interpret the Bible with Confidence: The 13 Rules

How to Interpret the Bible With Confidence

Interpreting the Bible correctly gives us a giant leap toward understanding God's desires for our lives.

We've all heard it said, "It all depends on how you interpret it." And, "Ask ten scholars the meaning of a passage, and you'll get ten different answers." Unfortunately, this may be true. But keep in mind, they can all be wrong, but they cannot all be right.

God warns of a misuse of His Word when He says, "If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city..."

There are universally accepted rules for the interpretation of any language. We believe these rules should be applied to the Bible. Special rules aren't needed to understand God's Word. It was written through men (under the Spirit's influence), and to men, in the language of man, and so should be understandable by men. In the light of the fact that its ultimate author is God, who also gave us language, we believe His skills are more than adequate to communicate His meaning.

In this book you will be exposed to 13 of these rules, illuminated by numerous examples from the Bible, to guide you in the pursuit of His truth. You will find they give new life to your discovery of the precious jewels in His Word.

The author has spent more than forty years teaching this subject in churches and schools and holding seminars to train people how to interpret God's Word. This book is the outgrowth of that experience. You will find it a valuable weapon in your arsenal against the evil one.
