Baker Academic Hermeneutics: Principles and Processes of Biblical Interpretation, Second Edition

This accessible text, which combines hermeneutical theory with practical steps for exegesis, has been translated into eight languages and has been used in a variety of settings to teach students how to study the Bible responsibly. The authors outline a five-step hermeneutical procedure that includes: (1) historical-cultural and contextual analysis, (2) lexical-syntactical analysis, (3) theological analysis, (4) genre identification and analysis, and (5) application.

The second edition adds co-author Karelynne Gerber Ayayo and includes updated material covering developments in hermeneutics over the past twenty years.

Henry A. Virkler (PhD, Georgia State University) is professor of psychology at Palm Beach Atlantic University. He has written five books, including A Christian's Guide to Critical Thinking.

Karelynne Gerber Ayayo (ThD, Boston University) is assistant professor of New Testament at Palm Beach Atlantic University.

I have been purchasing books of many assortments from CBD for many many years. This product is exactly what I ordered. The edition is concise, complete and easily understood. I am completely satisfied with Hermeneutics, 2nd edition as a resource for my students.

This text is amazing! Virkler and Ayayo make understanding hermeneutics very easy! They obviously took the time to put this book in a clear and organized order that makes it very easy to read.ChristianBook got the book out right away, and I had it in my hands five days after ordering it!

This is a good book for students studying Hermeneutics. The practice questions at the end of each lesson chapters is an added plus.

This is a well structured introduction to Hermeneutics, with thought provoking exercises in each chapter. It is not intended to be the end of our journey in hermeneutics, but rather, a beginning.
