I cannot recommend this book enough. "Grasping God's Word" is probably the best single book on Hermeneutics/Exegetical work on the market today. This was one of the required texts for my Hermeneutics course in Bible College.
This book is not like most books on Exegesis in that it is HANDS ON all the way through! Each chapter deals with a specific critical aspect of exegetical work and ends with worksheets for the reader to practice what he just read! The book is VERY readable and is moves along at a pace that will not leave anyone behind.
My Bible reading was never the same after I read and worked through this book. If you take the time to "grasp" this book you will begin noticing patterns and themes in the Biblical texts that you probably never noticed before. This book literally trains your mind to engage God's Word with competency.
The only reason I rated this book as 4 Stars instead of 5 is because I believe it is weak on the Bible Versions issues in not promoting the TR/Masoretic texts as the preserved Word of God.Get more detail about Grasping God's Word: A Hands-On Approach to Reading, Interpreting, and Applying the Bible.
