Let the Reader Understand by Dan McCartney and Charles Clayton (1994 BridgePoint/Victor Books) In these 292 pages you will find some of the most practical tools around to help you interpret and understand what the Bible really teaches.
Interpreting the Parables by Craig Blomberg (1990 InterVarsity Press). Many people know that Jesus often spoke in parables. Why did Jesus use this story-telling format to teach? What do the different parables mean? How should we interpret and apply the truths of Jesus’ parables to our lives? Blomberg’s book will be of great help to anyone wanting to take a serious look at the parables of Jesus.
Biblical Christian Ethics by David Clyde Jones (1994 Baker Books). Jones biblical approach sees Christian ethics as a study of the way of life that conforms to the will of God. Major sections cover the goal, motive and direction of the Christian life. Here is practical advice for anyone struggling with discerning right from wrong. Subjects covered include: the sanctity of human life, issues of sexuality, justice, divorce, remarriage, and truthfulness.
The Sermon on the Mount by John Stott (IVP). If you’re looking for a great commentary on the most famous sermon ever preached, this is the one. One of my favorite Bible teachers, John Stott, offers us practical, historical, and Biblical insights into the meaning of some of Jesus’ most well known words.
