  How Scripture Interprets Scripture

  $28.00

  This book addresses a topic of vital concern to the church: How does the ancient biblical text speak to us today? Michael Graves, an expert in ancient exegesis, describes how Old Testament texts interpret earlier Old Testament traditions, explores New Testament reception, and explains how insights from this process translate into present-day biblical interpretation. Graves clearly explains and illustrates this approach with fulsome discussions of five themes that are addressed in various ways in the Bible: personal responsibility; sacrificial offerings; insiders and outsiders; marriage, polygamy, and divorce; and the afterlife. By attending to the way these topics are addressed throughout the entire biblical witness, we become better interpreters and better teachers, more adept at discerning the Bible’s teaching on these topics and others for our modern world.

  Inspiration And Interpretation Of Scripture

  $27.99

  All Christians in the early church believed in the divine inspiration of Scripture, yet they had a surprising diversity of viewpoints. In this book Michael Graves describes the nature of early Christian beliefs regarding divine inspiration and explores differences between ancient and modern assumptions on the topic.Graves examines the beliefs of early Christians about Scripture through both theoretical statements and concrete examples of early Christians’ discussions of specific biblical texts. What emerges is a rich network of theological ideas about the Bible together with critical engagement with the biblical text. Graves shows how many of those early-church ideas can be essential guideposts for helping Christians today to read Scripture theologically and hear God’s voice in Scripture.
