How should Christians read prophetic literature? Questions abound
both in the academy and the church as to how to engage the
prophets, particularly in light of the New Testament. The Gospel
writers and the church fathers all read and appealed to the Old
Testament, but are we as modern-day readers supposed to take the
same approach? The Prophets and the Apostolic Witness is a dialogue
among scholars that identifies the interpretive methods used
throughout history while also charting a constructive way forward
for our own approach to reading the Major Prophets. This
comprehensive volume brings together experts on Isaiah, Jeremiah,
and Ezekiel to illuminate the following topics: How the Apostles
Read the Major Prophets as Christian Scripture Limits on Reading
the Major Prophets as Christian Scripture Reading the Major
Prophets in the Footsteps of the Apostles The History of
Interpretation of the Major Prophets as Christian Scripture
Preaching the Major Prophets as Christian Scripture This
collaborative endeavor offers fresh and helpful insights to
scholars, students, and pastors alike as they engage with the text
of the Major Prophets.
Biblical Foundations Book Awards Finalist No one reads the Bible
without some interpretive principles, or hermeneutics, in place.
The question every student of Scripture needs to ask, then, is
this: Are your interpretive principles and methods legitimate and
ethical? In this accessible introduction to biblical hermeneutics,
Nicholas G. Piotrowski presents an approach that explores three
layers of context: literary, historical, and christological.
Because no text exists in the abstract, interpreters must seek to
understand a passage's ecology: the flow and argument of the entire
biblical book, the world of the original author and audience, and
the movement of redemptive history that culminates in the person
and work of Jesus Christ. Careful interpretation is both a science
and an art, Piotrowski argues, and it has powerful implications for
what we believe and how we apply God's Word. Featuring numerous
examples, further reading lists, and a glossary, In All the
Scriptures equips students, pastors, and thoughtful readers to
build a solid foundation for interpreting the Bible.
