Description
In this serious but nontechnical introduction to interpreting and applying Scripture, Daniel M. Doriani equips Bible teachers to observe and analyze texts, solve problems, and develop themes. Since its original publication in 1996, Getting the Message has been used by teenagers, college students, and seminarians as well as by Christian leaders on six continents. This new edition has been revised with a global audience in mind.
