<p><em>SCM Studyguide to Biblical Hermeneutics </em>offers entry-level undergraduates a framework for interpreting the Bible. The book goes beyond offering guidance on how to do exegesis, and is intended as a practical tool to help readers develop good interpretative strategies for themselves. As such it features pedagogical tools such as Try it Out boxes to assist students to develop a tested and thought - through overall interpretative strategy of their own. Market-tested to ensure a good coverage of the typical topics found on a standard level-one hermeneutics course, this 'Studyguide' is designed as a practical and comprehensive companion to coursework, be that within a secular institution, a theological institution or within Church reading groups. The authors set out from the beginning to make clear that interpretation of the Bible is largely affected by the reader&#39;s own situation and therefore, the text is designed to guide the reader through the myriad of accepted methods of interpretation, no matter what the reader&#39;s own perspective or situation may be.</p>
