Since its publication in 1994, An Introduction to Biblical Hermeneutics has become a standard text for a generation of students, pastors, and serious lay readers. This second edition has been substantially updated and expanded, allowing the authors to fine-tune and enrich their discussions on fundamental interpretive topics. In addition, four new chapters have been included that address more recent controversial issues:• The role of biblical theology in interpretation• How to deal with contemporary questions not directly addressed in the Bible• The New Testament’s use of the Old Testament• The role of history in interpretationThe book retains the unique aspect of being written by two scholars who hold differing viewpoints on many issues, making for vibrant, thought-provoking dialogue. What they do agree on, however, is the authority of Scripture, the relevance of personal Bible study to life, and why these things matter.

______________

[This book] has been a fun and illuminating read. As opposed to a dry textbook this work opens with engaging examples in Chapter 1 from Shakespeare's Othello and in Chapter 2 from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, illustrating how confusing language can be without even requiring translation. The text is broken into four parts including Searching for Meaning, Understanding the Text, Responding to the Text, and The Search for Meaning. While drawing the student in through great examples, the lessons challenge them to think in newer ways such as Hans-Georg Gadamer’s concept of "The meaning of a text always goes beyond its author;” and Paul Ricoeur’s idea that "A text is semantically independent of the intention of its author.” The result forces the student to consider the manner in which we read, understand and apply the text. Each chapter offers a strong conclusion sub section, followed by endnotes. The work also offers a glossary and annotated bibliography to accompany the endnotes from each chapter. The authors come together from different hermeneutical views and collaborate to create this single work unifying the approach. This second edition has been updated to answer questions regarding analysis of Scripture regarding subjects such as gender roles, worship styles and other contemporary issues. In the final part, author Silva, while historically a not a strong proponent of Calvinism, offers a chapter on Calvinistic Hermeneutics, focusing on the methods of interpretation which lead to that distinctive theology. The book establishes itself as a great read for both the “expert” and the lay person. C. Fugee

Keep ample supply of batteries nearby
Color: Graphite, Style: Keyboard
his keyboard does exactly what I needed it to do—stay quiet. No loud clack-clack echoing through calls, even on sensitive audio. It’s a solid choice if you’re working around microphones or just prefer a softer typing sound. Connectivity was easy, and it’s been reliable so far. The keys feel comfortable once you get into a rhythm. That said, the spacing is just slightly different from my previous keyboard—barely a millimeter or so—but it’s enough to throw you off at first. There’s definitely a short adjustment period before your fingers recalibrate. Also, it doesn't blow through batteries super fast, but I promise you'll want some spares handy because Murphy's Law dictates that you will be in the middle of something important when they go out! Overall, a dependable, low-noise keyboard that works well once you get used to the feel.

I am very happy!
Color: Graphite, Style: Keyboard
No issues. Keyboard works great and connects flawlessly to my laptop. Can't imagine any other problems. It does make a little clicky noise when typing but not overly loud or annoying and not as loud/annoying as my work computer keyboard. That keyboard has a very thin, plasticy, sharper, cheaper sounding click and this has a more subdued, heavier duty sounding click. I like it much better. It seems dampened maybe. It's hard to describe sounds but I find it way less annoying than any other keyboards I have used. I am extremely happy with its size and still having the full keyboard and numbers.

Simple, reliable, and very comfortable to use
Color: Graphite, Style: Keyboard
This keyboard is exactly what I was looking for. Setup was quick and easy, and the Bluetooth connection has been stable with no lag or dropouts. The keys are comfortable and quiet, making it great for everyday typing at home or in the office. I really like having the full numpad while still keeping a relatively compact size. The keyboard feels sturdy, and the spill-resistant design gives some peace of mind. Battery life has been excellent so far, and it works smoothly across both Windows and Mac. Overall, it’s a solid, no-frills keyboard that does its job well. Great quality and performance for the price.
