Since God is an author who intends that his book be understood, interpreting Scripture isn't mysterious, Robert Stein stresses. It is like a game in which players (readers) follow the rules planned by the game's designer. Obeying the rules is necessary to dig deeper and avoid inaccurate, subjective interpretation. Along the way, readers learn what is at stake in such issues as inspiration, inerrancy, continuing revelation, and the guidance of the Spirit. Aids include exercises and discussion questions and a glossary of technical terms. - Back cover.
