The authors offer sound principles of Bible interpretation, including how to differentiate between timeless truths and cultural mandates. "For a Christian believer living in today's fast-changing world, knowledge of the Bible is important. Knowing how to apply the Bible to present-day situations is equally important. This book will help the lay person experience what the Psalmist wrote: 'Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path' (Psalm 119:105)." -- Millard J. Erickson, theologian and author of over 25 books
