Introduction to Biblical Interpretation Participating in God’s Story of Redemption Jacqueline Grey and Paul W. Lewis FOUNDATIONS FOR SPIRIT-FILLED CHRISTIANITY Jerry Ireland, Paul W. Lewis, and Frank D. Macchia, series editors This introduction to biblical interpretation expands the interpretive task to encompass both comprehension of the Bible’s content and active participation in God’s redemptive plan. The authors help readers engage with the beauty of God’s Word and read it holistically for their intellectual and spiritual growth. They address the nature of interpretation; emphasize the Holy Spirit’s role in the production, interpretation, and application of the Bible as a communication of the triune God; and explore the Bible’s genres and historical con- texts through the lens of God’s redemptive story. They also provide principles and accessible guidelines for biblical interpretation in global contexts, including a simple outline for beginning students to follow as they start interpreting and applying Scripture. Above all, the authors emphasize the transformative nature of reading Scripture. This book is part of a new series that reflects the changing face of global Christianity. Series volumes are written by leading Pente- costal/Charismatic scholars who highlight themes of interest to Pentecostal/Charismatic students; however, the books are respectful, appreciative, and inclusive of a variety of church families and traditions. PRAISE FOR THE SERIES “The church and academy are finally ready for Foundations for Spirit-Filled Christianity, which relays the insights and perspectives of mature Pentecostal and Charismatic theologians and biblical scholars on a broad array of important theological topics, doctrinal loci, and practical realities.” —AMOS YONG, Fuller Theological Seminary “In all forms of the global church—Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Orthodox—people are increasingly seeing themselves as Spirit-filled believers. Unfortunately, colleges and seminaries often lack textbooks that address these changes. This series is a timely intervention, one that will certainly help to fill this gap.” —CHERYL BRIDGES JOHNS, Global Pentecostal House of Study, United Theological Seminary “This series rightly identifies the pivotal role of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity in shaping tomorrow’s global Christianity and addresses the shortage of resources for training future leaders.” —WONSUK MA, College of Theology and Ministry, Oral Roberts University
