Interpretation for Preaching and Teaching An Introduction to Biblical Hermeneutics Stanley E. Porter This accessible introduction to hermeneutics helps students and pastors better interpret and understand God’s Word. “This book is a must-read for pastors and teachers because it will help them think more clearly and rigorously about the hermeneutical process and its prac- tice. A careful reading will pay huge dividends. I wish I would have had this book during my time in pastoral ministry!” —DAVID L. MATHEWSON, Denver Seminary “This book ranges widely in the areas of use of language, flow of thought, literary genre, and biblical and systematic theology, complete with numerous examples from the underappreciated little letter to Philemon.” —CRAIG L.

Listening to Scripture An Introduction to Interpreting the Bible Craig G. Bartholomew

This readable, up-to-date, and theologically grounded guide to interpreting the Bible helps us read Scripture with an ear toward hearing God’s address.

“Bartholomew helps readers of the Bible to know what to listen for in Scripture and how to do so with attention and intelligence, in spirit and in truth.” —KEVIN J. VANHOOZER, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “ Listening to Scripture is remarkably expansive and accessible in its vision and applicability as it guides Christians through an integrative journey of personal devotions, academic study, preaching and teaching, and missional outreach. It is the integrative vision that I have been hungering for and that my students and fellow congregants so desperately need.” —MEGAN C. ROBERTS, Prairie College

Craig G. Bartholomew (PhD, University of Bristol) is director of the Kirby Laing Centre for Public Theology in Cambridge, England.
