Toward the beginning of college I was seeking guidance on how to approach studying Scripture. How should I approach some of those weird, highly imaginative passages in Ezekiel, Daniel or Revelation? Or what do I do about apparent contradictions in the Bible? Better yet, I wanted to know what I believe, why I believe it so that I might be able to defend my hope in our Lord Jesus (1 Peter 3:15). Which, by the way, I believe one of the biggest and most troubling deficits in the church right now is our lack of knowledge of Scripture and being able to back up what we believe with God’s Word. Thoughts like these were buzzing through my mind, and I needed some mature, wise counsel to approach my personal study of Scripture. So I started searching around online for a book to help guide me in this, and I came across a highly rated and quite popular book titled Knowing Scripture by R.C. Sproul. This book has been in publication since 1977, and it apparently is still selling, a lot. After reading it, I realized why.This was my very first book by my now favorite author (and I’ll be honest, role model), R.C. Sproul. I was struck by how lucid and yet penetrating his writing was, since after all, he is one of the most prolific and renown theologians of our time. He has such a gift of presenting biblical ideas in extraordinarily clear language. This is a huge hallmark of this book.One massive issue today in Christian circles is how frequently people find themselves disagreeing about what Scripture says or means or even how we should apply it to our lives. And as Sproul so incisively points out, “the Bible remains an enigma capable of vastly different interpretations.†“Is there any way to escape this confusion?†is one of the foundational questions he lays in writing this book. He also strives to provide guidance when approaching these conflicting viewpoints. These, however, are by no means the only issues this book deals with. For the book doesn’t mainly deal with key issues, but it is a launching-tool, if you will, for serious students of God’s word.Sproul offers tremendous guidance on the science of interpretation, or what is often called, hermeneutics. A faithful, God-fearing approach to Scripture is an absolute requisite for anyone studying God’s word. He expounds on and also appeals many problems we face today, and offers solutions to them, like the ones I mentioned in the first paragraph. One of the most helpful tools, I found, was the analogy of faith. This is pretty much the corner stone of post-Reformation bible study. This rule is the vanguard of hermeneutics, or interpretation. The analogy of faith means, simply put, that Scripture is to interpret Scripture. “These means, quite simply, that no part of Scripture can be interpreted in such a way as to render it in conflict with what is clearly taught elsewhere in Scripture,†writes Sproul. This concept is rooted in the confidence of the inspiration of Scripture, it being the inerrant, infallible Word of God. Sproul has a cogent and faithful assertion about this: “Since it is assumed that God would never contradict himself, it is thought slanderous to the Holy Spirit to choose an alternate interpretation that unnecessarily brings the Bible in conflict with itself.†He goes into some detail in how to deal with passages that seem contradictory but are actually paradoxical.Sproul offers more insight and guidance on private interpretation. He goes on to explain how to approach the Bible literally, that is, how it was written, i.e. as a poem, narrative, analogy, symbol, type, etc. He also shows the biblical critique of the Medieval Quadriga, but expounds on the singular meaning of a passage of scripture, but explains how it can have a sundry of applications. He dedicates an entire part of the book full of listed rules on how to read and interpret the Bible. Any good student of Scripture would find this tremendously helpful.This small, 145 page book is a great book to pick up if you crave to learn more about Scripture, if you need guidance in how to interpret certain passage, or if you aren’t entirely sure how to sit down and study the Bible and have a fruitful devotional time. I highly recommend this book. I hope you will contemplate buying this book, because I have recognized the import of studying God’s word so that we might not only glorify God in it, or worship him, and become more satisfied in him. But that we might “honor Christ the Lord…being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for the reason for the hope that is in you [and to] do it with gentleness and respect†(1 Peter 3:15).
Excellent book on how to read/study your Bible. This is a valuable resource to address an skill that seems widely missing in todays church. Too many of us are content to let someone else read and study and then tell us what the Scripture means.Sproul does point out the church needs Pastors and teachers to expound Gods word for the church. They have been gifted and trained for this. Still this does not negate our responsibility to search the Scriptures ourselves as we seek to build a first hand relationship with Jesus Christ .Sproul covers all the necessary areas including the motivation to study and the challenge to combat our own laziness for a fruit that lasts. He also covers the various types of writings in Scripture and the need to distinguish and interpret accordingly.The book closes with a very helpful chapter explaining and recommending the various types of tools (both in print and digital) available for every skill and budget.For those needing a positive motivation to study the Scriptures and the basic tools needed to get started, this book is a valuable resource
Car advertisements on TV have progressed (??) from being informative in years past, to idiotic, to truly moronic in modern times. So please pardon me when I borrow an overused phrase from contemporary silly car commercials, but Sproul’s little volume, Knowing Scripture, is truly “best-in-class†for concise books that help the reader interpret the Bible.Sproul’s writing is warm and friendly, almost whimsical at times, which belies the immensely intelligent, well-schooled, sharp mind behind the volume. The average layman will find this book easy to read, easy to understand, and very encouraging as it admonishes him to read—and interpret—his Bible.The first chapter explores the motivations and necessity behind the Christian’s obligation to read the Scripture, and the second chapter follows on smoothly with the question of private Bible interpretation. Sproul argues for the idea that private interpretation is necessary and legitimate, but must be informed by the teachers (through history) God has gifted to the Church. He also deals with the matter of objectivity and subjectivity in interpretation.A wide-angle view of hermeneutics occupies the third chapter as Sproul deals with larger issues such as genre analysis, metaphor, the grammatical-historical approach, source criticism, and how such matters inform literal interpretation.If chapter three deals with hermeneutics on the “strategic†level, chapter four approaches it from the “tactical†level as the author unfolds and explains eleven rules to guide the interpretive endeavor. Chapter five deals with some of the difficult issues swirling around the question of how both the biblical writer’s and modern reader’s cultural contexts affect meaning.Finally Sproul lists numerous helpful resources and tools for Bible study in chapter six. As a humorous side note, Sproul thinks it is a simple matter to master the Greek and Hebrew alphabets (well, okay), and a thousand-word vocabulary of Greek (ah, not so simple). Maybe it is simple for him and for other men and women of his intellect, but I found it very challenging (and then found maintaining a hard-earned Greek and Hebrew vocabulary to be nigh unto impossible, since other demands crowd into post-seminary life).Knowing Scripture is truly the “best-in-class†volume for an introductory look at how to read and interpret the Bible. Highly recommended.
Doctor Sproul takes the disciplines of Hermeneutics and makes it understandable for the man in the pews. I have known many folks in many churches that live and faith that is only capable of milk, as the Apostle Paul would say. Every Christian that wishes to grow and become a spiritual steak eater, needs to read this wonderful book
True to Dr Sproul's gift, this book is a well written resource that meets his objective in teaching the reader to study the Bible effectively and learn it's truth applications to our lives.
