The Formation of Christian Understanding: Theological Hermeneutics

Simply put, this is the best book to be found on the theological understanding of scripture. Charles Wood writes clearly, graphically, engagingly, and with uncommon sense about one of the thorniest of theological problems: how to interpret and use the Bible. He faces the hard questions and the troublesome issues with candor, intelligence, and persuasive insight. This is a classic text. Thomas G. Long, Princeton Theological Seminary
