It also surveys different interpretive approaches and their historical, Catholic, Protestant, and rationalist roots, offering a framework for careful, responsible exegesis.

What you will experience:

• Clear definitions of key ideas like literal, metaphorical, and mystical senses.


• Guidance on discovering and explaining Scripture’s meaning with established methods.
