The Foundations of Scriptural Understanding
Scriptural Reference and Exploration Series, Volume 1: Foundations of Scriptural Understanding serves as a beginning for scriptural studies introduced in succeeding volumes focusing on the foundations and principles for understanding biblical literature. A description of man’s relationships with the universe; covenants, their composition and purpose, with attendant ordinances are considered as a prelude to the dispensation of the Mosaic Law followed by the names, signs, tokens, seasons, festivals, and feasts that are predictive of the promised Messiah. This volume also delves into a fuller description of the Messiah and his missions as described through Israelite patriarchal blessings. Throughout the writings are references to the ancient tabernacles, sanctuaries, and temple worship. Drawing from the best available resources, these words of instruction will help the readers better understand the culture, settings, and customs of those who wrote the scriptures. It is written for the lay reader as well as for scholars who desire an additional resource.
Foundations for Biblical Interpretation
It is because we believe the Bible is God's Word to his people that we have worked together to create this volume. All the contributors affirm the complete veracity and total authority of the Bible. Since this is the case, we believe it is important that the Bible be studied and applied properly. All of us, like the readers of this volume, face the challenge of what it means to hear and obey God's Word, to learn it, and to put it into practice. In order to interpret the Bible correctly we recognize the need to understand historical background material, cultural issues and contexts, ancient languages, hermeneutical practices, and the theological significance of the biblical text. This book is intended to be an introductory textbook for beginning students in college and seminary, but it can also serve as an update for ministers and Bible teachers as well. - Preface.
Opening Up the Scriptures

Opening Up the Scriptures was written by a group of eminent Catholics, including Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger -- now Pope Benedict XVI. In these erudite essays the authors contend that historical-critical interpretation of Scripture has long since run its course in both Protestant and Catholic exegesis. Instead, they argue, the future of interpretation lies in accepting that the Bible is not just a collection of historical documents but also a record of revelation conceived in faith. By this token, true exegesis involves the faith and humility of the exegete.
