[Joseph Obuobi-Appeah · Rating 4 out of 5]

My favorite Biblical Interpretations Book.

[Jimmy Reagan · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best all-round volume that covers all the bases well. It’s scholarly, yet the reasoning can be easily followed. It’s especially helpful on specialized topics like parables and figures of speech. Begins with a good section on the history of interpretation. If I could only have one volume on the subject, this would be it.

A classic used often as a textbook. It is very technical in some sections so readers may find it less accessible.
