Reviews for How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth
357 ratings14 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good overview of the topic of interpreting Scripture. They lay out the fundamentals well in pretty accessible language.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The authors provides suggestions on reading and studying the Bible, including chapters discussing how to approach the various genres of writing in the Bible. Their efforts, however, were a bit marred by the authors' own personal biases when it comes to matters such as Bible translations and even theological biases. Persons who disagree with specific parts of the faith of the authors will have issues with the authors' approach to certain things. Still, it is overall a good work on how to study the Bible that will be enjoyed by many persons wanting to improve their comprehension of Biblical texts.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An excellent overview of how to read the Bible that is very readable. He also gives many recommendations of how to continue into deeper study.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A must for the deep study of the Word. Reading this first will help with considering the position of other academic authors on the Word.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great overview by two scholars that are very respected in their fields yet are still able to write for larger audiences than academia. This is a book I wish I would have read early on in college as I think it would have helped speed up my interest in studying the Bible and wanting to learn more about the context. We are given broad brush strokes into the OT and the NT which allows us to get a better sense of the big picture and story of God and His relation to us. Fee and Stuart leave with much to think about and a helpful hand to explore texts that one otherwise might avoid. Truly something that is helpful for any member of a church to study and learn from.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I have read this book several times and I highly recommend it as essential reading for all Christians out there. Though I disagree with some of the conclusions Fee and Stuart may have arrived it over their time in ministry (see introduction, ch. 1), this is a treasure trove of principles for genre interpretation scripture. Though at first it may be slightly heavy (especially the discussion about translation theory), everything in this book is vital for the Christian who loves God's word. Take your time reading it and practice the principles as you read the Bible. It is definitely a title I will use for a long time to come.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I've taught on this book a number of times, and I still don't get sick of it. It's so essential to understand that the Bible is made up of a number of kinds of literature, and because of this, it's essential to know how to approach each kind on its own (while plugging it into the broad metanarrative of Scripture). Fee and Stuart help navigate these issues for the eager student of the Bible.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Best book around for learning HOW to read and understand the Bible. Anything by Gordon Fee is great, but this book is accessible for anyone to read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's easy to forget that the bible is a collection of books. Each book belongs to a genre. This book shows you how to interpret each book correctly. I think the author did a fairly good job explaining how to do exegesis and hermeneutics in a concise manner.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My favorite book for understanding the different genres of literature in the Bible
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The chapters deal with issues related to the different genres of the Bible: epistles, OT narratives, Acts, gospels, parables, law, prophets, psalms, wisdom, and the Revelation. It contains good information on how and why we need to interpret the Scriptures, including the need to use a good Bible translation.There is a lot of scripture abuse going on and much of it comes from not understanding that the Bible contains different types of writings. Each chapter is useful for any reading or study for that particular genre. The book will help you and you members get past the "well, I think it means..." mentality of Bible study.In the back of the book is a section worth the price of the book. The authors discuss what makes a good commentary. One criterion is the need for a commentary that gives different options for the difficult verses, showing the evidence for each view instead of forcing one interpretation and presenting one as the only one. They give their recommendations for good, objective, conservative (people who believe in inspiration) commentaries for each book of the Bible.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What you CAN'T read into the text of the Bible. Some of the things we want the Bible to say cannot be supported by honest intellectual investigation, this helps sort out the aceptable methodology from rejected ones.With Carson's "Exegetical Fallacies," it is a good introduction to the process of exegesis and hermeneutics.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Quite an eye opener in terms of the various versions of the Holy scriptures available. A must read for bible scholars
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The best work on Bible study methods and hermeneutics I have read thus far. Fee is incredible in this book and it really helps in showing you how to read different types of literature. I have read about 4 books on this subject thus far, with 2 more on the list, but this by far exceeds the other ones I have read.
