This updated edition of a contemporary classic teaches sound grammatical, lexical, cultural, and theological Bible study practices, offering expert guidance for those seeking to interpret Scripture more accurately.

D. A. Carson and Andrew David Naselli teach interpreters to think critically and to develop sound reasons for the choices they make. To do this, interpreters must reject unsound reasons; so the authors identify common mistakes many Bible interpreters make and how to avoid them.

The third edition is significantly expanded, examines some new fallacies, and is accessible for beginning students of theology. It is also a helpful resource for any student of biblical languages.

"A must for teachers, pastors, and serious Bible students."--Thomas R. Schreiner, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
