Summary

Learn to interpret the Bible from the biblical writers themselves

A method of interpretation—a hermeneutic—is indispensable for understanding Scripture, constructing theology, and living the Christian life, but most contemporary hermeneutical systems fail to acknowledge the principles and practices of the biblical writers themselves.

Christians today cannot employ a truly biblical view of the Bible unless they understand why the prophets and apostles interpreted Scripture the way they did. To this end, Abner Chou proposes a "hermeneutic of obedience," in which believers learn to interpret Scripture the way the biblical authors did—including understanding the New Testament's use of the Old Testament. Chou first unfolds the "prophetic hermeneutic" of the Old Testament authors and demonstrates the continuity of this approach with the "apostolic hermeneutic" of the New Testament authors.

Excellent explanation that deepens your understanding of God’s word

I love how Chou has written this and gives extensive references for his thesis.
My only gripe is the reading of it on audio book.
The reader mispronounces words and names and refers to Jude chapter… which obviously is only a one chapter book.
There’s constant reference to Rvelations rather than the correct name of the book, Revelation.
Other than the reader making mistakes I have been very blessed by this and has really helped my understanding of hermeneutics.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
