Grasping God’s Word

Grasping Godâ??s Word has proven itself in classrooms across the country as an invaluable help to students who want to learn how to read, interpret, and apply the Bible for themselves. The third edition, revised based on feedback from professors, will continue to serve college-level students and lay learners well in their quest to gain a firm grasp on the rock of Godâ??s word. Old Testament scholar J. Daniel Hays and New Testament expert J. Scott Duvall provide practical, hands-on exercises to guide students through the interpretive process. To emphasize the Bibleâ??s redemptive arc and encourage correlation across the canon, the authors have included a call to â??cross into the rest of Scriptureâ?? as an additional step in the Interpretive Journey. This edition has also been rearranged for clarity and includes updated illustrations, appendices, bibliography, and assignments. A website for professors offers extensive teaching materials, and an accompanying revised workbook (Grasping Godâ??s Word Workbookâ??sold separately) gives students additional practice in reading and interpreting the Bible.
