| Abstract
|
:
|
"'An Introduction to Classical Evangelical Hermeneutics' offers a set of tools and guidelines for accurate interpretation and understanding of the Scriptures. Christians throughout history have been most "workmanlike" when using grammatical-historical principles, which take the words of the text to mean what language principles tell us they mean. The contributors to this work hold that grammatical-historical interpretation is most carefully followed when the interpreter is informed by premillennial, dispensational theology."--Back cover.
