This is an excellent resource for learning how to do correct hermeneutics. Osbourne does a tremendous job of evaluating, analyzing, and comparing the various methods. Very insightful and helpful, despite the length!

Anyone who can write scholarly material without sounding like a pompous windbag is probably amazing. ;)

Osborne takes the scariness out of Biblical Interpretation and shows you how to do it well while shedding light on the many exegetical fallacies. But he doesn't stop there––he puts it in normal words and a 'you can do it, too!' tone.

This is an undergrad/seminary read, but is accessible for anyone interested in Biblical Interpretation. If I were wanting to learn 'more' about this area, this book and Fee's book on exegesis are great places to start!

I want to meet him before he dies.
(ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: met, did not fangirl and die, and am currently good friends with his daughter!)
