Introduction and History
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is part of a 7 volume series, Foundation of Contemporary Interpretation. This book is a great introduction to hermeneutics, with some history of hermeneutics. I wish, I would of read this book before reading any other on the subject. It helped me understand the progress of biblical interpretation. With info on Augustine, Calvin and others, which helped me understand more about the hermeneutics of the Reformation. I would and have recommended this volume to others.
yes and no!

dr silva is a conservative evangelical who has been on faculty at several well known (reformed) seminaries. this book is written from a conservative perspective and explains that the literal meaning of a passage or verse may not be the upshot of what the author was attempting to convey. dr silva very eloquently says, "the truth of scriptural authority does automatically tell us what a given passage means: it does assure us that, once we have correctly identified the biblical teaching...that that teaching may be trusted unequivocally." he adds,"...the truth of scripture is independent of anyones's ability to comprehend it or willingness to receive it." this book is to the point and very readable for the nonscholar and scholar alike. highly recommended!
