Designed to help guide an intensive fifteen week study of basic bible interpretation, The Living Word is an in-depth, and yet a lay-level introduction to the foundational principles of hermeneutics. Covering the typical hermeneutical principles found in other similar studies (grammatical, historical, contextual, etc.) as well as other less-discussed aspects of specifically biblical hermeneutics (the necessity of regeneration and the Spirit, the role of faith, the centrality of Christ, etc.), these lessons will prove helpful as a practical guide to studying the bible carefully, humbly, in the power of Christ's Spirit and in unity with his body.
