Description
The Language of God: A Commonsense Approach to Understanding and Applying the Bible (Walking with God Series)
by J.A. Crabtree (Author), David Crabtree (Author), Ron Julian (Author)
From the Back Cover: "Understanding the Bible requires integrity and skill…but one need not be a trained expert. God chose to put His message in a form accessible to virtually every human being.” from The Language of God If you can talk and think, you can understand the Bible. Many believe that you have to be a highly trained language expert in order to understand the Bible. Not so. Our Creator made us to be knowers, to use our minds and intuition to make sense of the world around us. And we can use these same gifts to correctly interpret the Bible. Biblical interpretation requires dedication and hard work, but anyone can do it once the right skills are acquired. The three authors of The Language of God?David Crabtree, J. A. Crabtree, and Ron Julian?have combined their wealth of education and experience in biblical hermeneutics to help you develop the skills necessary for sound Bible study. The Language of God addresses topics such as: ? Solid biblical interpretation principles ? The Bible’s language and culture ? How to think critically and apply God’s worldview ? The importance of language conventions, background information, and reading in context ? Considering alternative interpretations ? How to seek a consistent and coherent view of the Bible and life Between the covers of our Bibles, we have the truth of who God is and what He has promised. The Language of God will give you the foundation you need for learning to effectively interpret what the Bible says, and in turn, living your life in the light of the gospel."
