In this practical book written with the non-specialist in mind, Manfred Brauch identifies and corrects a number of basic errors that interpret and apply biblical texts in ways that distort their meaning and message. Chapters explore issues of context, genre, consistency, author intent and more, addressing not just the act of interpretation, but also the attitudes behind the ways we choose to apply Scripture.
