Great book for learning about the proper approach to Bible observation, interpretation and application. I had to read this for a class in college by I really enjoyed it. The 5 step process for bible study and application is simple and helpful for personal use as well as teaching. Duvall and Hays do a splendid job of explaining preconceived notions of the reader, genres of the bible, and the proper approach to finding the authors meaning in the text among other things. I would highly recommend this book for anyone with a desire to grow in their ability to understand and apply biblical truth, whether a greenhorn or veteran when it comes to bible study.

My 3 star review is not my review of the book, it is excellent. I’ve used editions 1,2,3 and 4 arrives in a couple of weeks. I will use the book but not this workbook. I think it is too much. If it were half the size, it would be more useful. There are great assignment ideas that I will use but not enough to justify the whole book. If you are teaching hermeneutics, get this workbook but don’t make your students buy it.

A fantastic book!
I read the latest version and it is incredible. Though very basic, it gives an overview of how to interpret, read and use the bible in an appropriate manner.
It is helpful with language use, translations and the context scripture was written in.
It is simple and would recommend to anyone who finds biblical studies of interest.
