Today’s post continues with Dr Craig S Keener’s brief course in biblical hermeneutics, as taken from his 2005 guide, Biblical Interpretation, which he used when teaching Nigerian students.
Yesterday’s post covered a definition of hermeneutics and Chapter 1. Monday’s post introduced Keener’s perspective on reading the Bible. Everyone, including Sunday School teachers and theology students, will find this a fascinating guide.
