The appearance of the third edition of Introduction to Biblical Interpretation (much more than
a mere introduction!) stands as testimony to the book’s lasting influence and significance.
The authors engage ongoing scholarship in biblical studies as they provide readers necessary
principles and guidelines that impact the discipline of hermeneutics. Importantly, they also
point readers to the fact that we must not be content merely to “master” the biblical text;
rather, we must strive to let it master us. The book will greatly benefit those willing to invest
the time to wrestle with its insights. -- Bryan E. Beyer, Ph.D., Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Columbia International University
