Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

How do we understand a book as complex as the Bible? History, laws, poetry, prophecy, apocalypse, letters (or epistles) . . . and all of it written thousands of years ago!

In this uncomplicated, clarifying book, Pastor Jim Nicodem explains how to accurately interpret a Bible passage by unpacking its various contexts. Start with its historical setting: author, recipient, date, and purpose. Then determine its literary genre: law, narrative, prophecy, poetry, gospel, or epistle. Finally, identify the key theological issues. Sound difficult? Not once you employ the simple study tools the book includes.

Perfect for everyone, from first-time Bible readers to Bible study leaders, Context is a wonderful tool to help with basic Bible reading or more in-depth study.
