Reading the Bible Wisely by Richard Briggs
The first part of the book explores issues of biblical interpretation in connection with reading the Bible in three particular contexts - historical, literary and theological. The reader is helped by looking at specific passages in the light of these approaches. The second part considers specific doctrines about the Bible: its clarity, its inspiration and its authority, and asks what it means in practice to read the Bible as an inspired or as an authoritative text.
