Some words in the larger Christian vocabulary are technical terms
such as are typical of any specialized field (think
"predestination" or "rapture"). Others are seeming "everyday" words
that take on a special meaning when used in the Christian context
(think "adoption" or "walk").
Here are thorough, contextualized definitions-usually in two
pages or less-of 200 of the most important terms used in Christian
theology, with an emphasis upon their relevance for today. Four
professors with ties to Dallas Seminary generated 50 definitions
each. Then an outside editor reviewed and popularized the
manuscript to make it accessible to the widest possible audience.
The resulting explanations help demystify each term for the reader
and let him see it within the Bible's broader message.
Acclaimed teacher Roy B. Zuck reveals how teachers can tap into
the power of divine energy to fulfill their calling and use their
gifts at a deeper level. By applying these timeless, spirit-focused
principles, teachers will learn how to teach more effectively and
inspire students spiritually.

BASIC BIBLE INTERPRETATION
Can the Bible really be understood?
Are Old Testament prophecies relevant for today?
How can I understand the symbolism of the Book of
Revelation?
What is the relationship of the Old Testament to the New
Testament?
Why study Bible interpretation? Dr. Roy Zuck points out that it is
essential for understanding and teaching the Bible properly,
essential as a step beyond observation, and essential for applying
the Bible correctly.
He discusses the challenges of Bible interpretation, considers the
problems of Bible interpretation, explores the history of Bible
interpretation, and defines key terms--all in a practical,
down-to-earth way.
Though Dr. Zuck's many years of teaching and scholarship are
evident in this book, he has written in language understandable to
all who are serious about bible study and who want to know better
what Scripture means.
Basic Bible Interpretation lives up to its title. It deals with
the basics and doesn't confuse the reader with extraneous material.
It focuses on the bible as the Word of God and handles that Word
with "reverence and godly fear." It tells us how to interpret this
marvelous Book, and even gives the reader opportunity to put the
principles into practice. In every way, this book is a practical
tool for the serious student who wants to study the Bible and apply
its truths.

Having taught and written in the area of hermeneutics for almost
thirty years, I am convinced that there is no more important course
in the seminary curriculum for training in the scriptures. As Roy
Zuck has so ably demonstrated, we cannot know the message of the
bible for today until we know its meaning.
Dr. Zuck's work is intensely biblical and comprehensive but at the
same time it is simple and uncomplicated. This is a book we have
needed for many years and I praise the Lord that it is now
available.

At last! A book on hermeneutics you can understand. Dr. Zuck has
drawn heavily on his many years of teaching in the seminary
classroom to present an excellent treatise on biblical
interpretation. While this book will be well received in the
classroom, it is one that I will be wholeheartedly recommending to
my congregation. While the scholarship is clearly present, it is
nevertheless most readable and understandable by the average
layperson. This book will make a valuable contribution to your
ability to comprehend the Scriptures.

Uniquely combines a firsthand theological perspective on
suffering with real-world application to guide the body of Christ
in ministering to the millions who suffer with disabilities.
With two in seven American families affected by disability, the
body of Christ has a great opportunity for ministry. This new
anthology uniquely points the way, training churches, caregivers,
pastors, and counselors to compassionately respond.
The book's contributors--ranging from Joni Eareckson Tada and
others living with disabilities, to seminary professors, ministry
leaders, and medical professionals--do more than offer a biblical
perspective on suffering and disability; they draw from very
personal experiences to explore Christians' responsibility toward
those who suffer. The volume addresses various disabilities and
age-related challenges, end-of-life issues, global suffering, and
other concerns--all the while reminding readers that as they seek
to help the hurting, they will be ministered to in return.
This unprecedented work, which includes a foreword by Randy
Alcorn, belongs in the hands of every Christian worker and caring
individual who is seeking a real-world, biblical perspective on
suffering.

not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.""--2
Timothy 2:15 (NKJV) Everyone who studies and teaches the Bible has

message. Understanding the principles of sound interpretation,

anyone who studies the Scriptures will appreciate the helpful
guidance of this collection of scholarship. Rightly Divided" brings

the field of hermeneutics, providing a basic overview of
hermeneutics and also addressing specific issues of interpretation.

Use of the Old Testament in the New" G. B. Caird--"Ambiguity in the
Bible" Norman Geisler--"The Relation of Purpose and Meaning in
Interpreting Scripture" Walter C. Kaiser Jr.--"Issues in
Contemporary Hermeneutics" I. Howard Marshall--"The Holy Spirit and
the Interpretation of Scripture" J. Robertson

Zuck--"The What and Why of Bible Interpretation"
Unfathomable loss. Unmerited suffering. Why is this happening to
me? For centuries people have tried to understand the reasons for
suffering and grief. When we cannot connect our woes to wrongs we
have done, we conclude that our suffering is undeserved and unfair.
Like Job, we struggle to understand our pain.
The universality of suffering makes the book of Job appealing, but
the treatment of that theme often makes the book difficult to
comprehend. Nonetheless, this section of Scripture offers powerful
lessons for your life.
Dr. Roy Zuck directs his commentary toward the layman. His clear,
organized insights can reveal important truths for the struggling
Christian. The uncomplicated, outlined content is suitable for both
individual and group study. You can learn from Job's suffering--as
well as from your own.
This book deals with the identity of the Torah that Yahweh promised
he would write on the hearts of New Covenant participants, as
prophesied in Jeremiah 31:33 and understood later in New Testament
times by Paul. This theological and exegetical monograph is an
invaluable reference work and textbook for all theological
seminaries and Christian religious departments of universities
worldwide. Pastors and virtually all Christians interested in
reading or researching Paul and the subject of Gospel/law
controversy in biblical studies will benefit from it. The book's
investigative study of the history of interpretation of the
church's teaching on the subject from the early church to modern
theological era, and Second Temple Judaism's writings on the topic,
is unsurpassed. No work currently existing on this subject can
compete with this book's historical survey and exegetical analysis,
reading Jeremiah and Paul contextually on the issue.
