A Guide to Understanding the Bible - A New Look at the Bible

A guide to understanding the Bible. This book uses a method to help the reader better read, study and understand the Bible. In thirteen chapters, the authors, both professors in a theology faculty, show us how to interpret the different literary genres found in the Scriptures. Each chapter explains and defines the genre in question, shows how it differs from others, offers keys to interpret it more easily and discusses the hermeneutical questions that it poses to today's Christian.
