When it comes to serious Bible study a popular question is, "Where do I start?" Another questions is, "How can I understand my Bible?" This book is written to help answer these and other questions about how to effectively study the 66 books of the Holy Bible. In 13 lessons I have set forth the basic principles of Hermeneutics in an easy to understand language and format. Through a study and application of these principles your personal Bible study will become enjoyable and have more meaning. To gain maximum benefits from this book, I suggest that you study it in a class. It is designed to be studied by persons of all ages. Each chapter has numerous discussion questions and applications. I have taught this material in congregational classes, in Hermeneutic courses in Schools of Preaching, and Bible college classes. My prayer is that this book will help you to "Study to show yourself approved unto God" (2 Timothy 2:15, KJV).
