The new edition considers the latest issues on hermeneutics, and at the same time the authors expertly explain what students need to understand to interpret the Scriptures."--Tom Schreiner, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary<br><br>"Earlier editions of this title have served a generation of students well, and this third substantially revised and updated edition continues to provide not only a reliable entry point to the art and science of biblical interpretation but also a competent introduction to the contemporary currents in the field of hermeneutics. As a product of three experienced teachers and able interpreters of the ancient texts, it deserves a place on the shelf of serious students of the Bible."--David W. Pao, Professor of New Testament and Chair of the New Testament Department, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School<br><br>"For over twenty years Introduction to Biblical Interpretation has set the standard for evangelical hermeneutics textbooks. It is remarkably comprehensive, clear, accurate, and balanced. This third edition is most welcome."--Mark L. Strauss, Professor of New Testament, Bethel Seminary San Diego<br><br>"I have often used Klein, Blomberg, and Hubbard's excellent Introduction to Biblical Interpretation as a textbook since it originally appeared over twenty years ago. This readable and profound book covers all the important topics of interpretation with great skill. I am very excited about the publication of the third edition that takes into account recent scholarship. I recommend it to all who want to deepen their ability to read Scripture well."--Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College<br><br>"I heartily welcome the third edition of a textbook I have used for more than twenty years as the primary text in an introductory seminary course on hermeneutics. This new, updated edition retains the breadth of topics, the well-conceived practical approach to interpretation, and the clarity of presentation of its two predecessors. Its discussion of literary genres and crucial theological and philosophical concepts that affect interpretation is first-rate and up-to-date. The volume is a treasury of interpretive methods that equip students with the key skills for discovering the riches in a biblical text; this is especially important given the vast array of genres found in both testaments. The joy students experience from a thorough study of a particular text gives them confidence to preach and teach God's Word enthusiastically. The volume includes a thorough discussion of approaches for moving from the discovery of the message of a text to making it relevant to the current culture."--John E. Hartley, Distinguished Professor of Old Testament Emeritus, Azusa Pacific Seminary<br><br>"Long a foundational resource for the study of the Scriptures, Introduction to Biblical Interpretation now appears in a third edition. With updated discussions, footnotes, and bibliographies this work constructively engages developments in areas treated in previous editions and interacts with more recent approaches that bring fresh questions to the text. Deeply committed to the Bible as holy writ, the authors present guidelines for its careful study and application to life. Detailed yet practical, this valuable tool proves its worth for a new audience."--M. Daniel Carroll R., Blanchard Chair of Old Testament, Wheaton College<br><br>"Long one of the most thorough, comprehensive, and practical textbooks for biblical interpretation, Introduction to Biblical Interpretation has now been expanded and further improved."--Craig S. Keener, F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary<br><br>"Retaining the best of the previous two editions, this classic textbook is updated with new material relevant to the interpretive issues of our day. No other work has surpassed the comprehensive study of biblical interpretation Klein, Blomberg, and Hubbard have produced. Tested by time, this new edition deserves a place in the library of every serious student of the Bible."--Karen H. Jobes, Gerald F. Hawthorne Professor Emerita of New Testament Greek and Exegesis, Wheaton College & Graduate School<br><br>"The appearance of the third edition of Introduction to Biblical Interpretation (much more than a mere introduction!) stands as testimony to the book's lasting influence and significance. The authors engage ongoing scholarship in biblical studies as they provide readers necessary principles and guidelines that impact the discipline of hermeneutics. Importantly, they also point readers to the fact that we must not be content merely to "master" the biblical text; rather, we must strive to let it master us. The book will greatly benefit those willing to invest the time to wrestle with its insights."--Bryan E. Beyer, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Columbia International University<br><br>"The first two editions of this book have become the standard textbook on biblical interpretation among evangelical circles, and this new edition should be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of any student of the Bible. It is the fruit of a model cooperation over several decades by the same authors who specialize in three different areas: doctrine, the NT, and the OT. The revision is thorough and comprehensive and covers current postmodern questions such as reader-response criticism, narrative criticism, and deconstruction."--David Toshio Tsumura, Professor of Old Testament, Japan Bible Seminary<br><br>"With this new edition, Klein, Blomberg, and Hubbard demonstrate the excellence of their previous editions while bringing their discussion up to date in light of contemporary hermeneutical theory. Clearly defending the appropriateness of author-centered interpretation, they provide students with a comprehensive set of tools for understanding the Bible in its ancient context and also the means for contextualizing its message today. Written with clarity and an awareness of the needs of students, this will remain an essential work for many years to come. It deserves to have pride of place in courses on hermeneutics, but ought also to be on the shelves of those who faithfully seek to interpret the Bible in a range of settings today."--David G. Firth, Old Testament Tutor and Academic Dean, Trinity College, Bristol<br>
