Customer comments on this selection.
 Solid, valuable principles for study of Scripture.
I just finished reading and working through this book for a Seminary class and can heartily recommend this book to all who wish to read and understand Scripture.
Most people look to first apply Scripture, yet without properly comprehending its original intent and audience. This book sets up 5 worthy steps needed to make accurate sense of Scripture. You will be given many needed tools for the indispensable work of studying your Scripture herein. One cannot simply read the Old Testament (poetry, narratives, dialogues, prophecies...) with our modern eyes and culture with hopes of truly making the best sense of it. We must take time and effort to be deliberate in our study!
You will find with many examples, how to determine the culture at the time of writing - the original audience and their particular issues. Next you will look for that main Theological principle in each verse, paragraph of book of the Bible. But we are still far removed from the original audience and need now to filter this information through the New Testament to see if it reiterated, translated, supported or no longer valid. Of particular importance are those doctrines that are restated by Jesus himself.
Now that we have spent the time examining particular words, cultural idioms, figures of speech and events - we can look to make a proper application for our present day and under the grace of Christ's new covenant.
A book for all those who have wondered at verses and statements found in Scripture. A book for those who wonder what parts are applicable to us today, and why certain items are included if not directly pertinent.
The Bible must be studied, and studied again - not simply read as you would some passing best-seller.
Review of "Grasping for God's Word"
Book received in excellent condition and in a reasonable amount of time. Would buy from this seller again.
Awesome Book
This book was great for beginners in reading the bible. A lot of people are afraid to study or read the bible because they don't know how to. This book made my studying and reading the bible so much more meaningful and achievable. I would recommend over other books any day.
