Word of God For the People of God

This book fills a real need for pastors and students. Though there is currently a large body of material on the theological interpretation of Scripture, most of it is highly specific and extremely technical. J.Todd Billings here provides a straightforward entryway for students and pastors to understand why theological interpretation matters and how it can be done.??A solid, constructive theological work, *The Word of God for the People of God* presents a distinctive Trinitarian, participatory approach toward reading Scripture as the church. Billings's accessible yet substantial argument for a theological hermeneutic is rooted in a historic vision of the practice of scriptural interpretation even as it engages a wide range of contemporary issues and includes several exegetical examples that apply to concrete Christian ministry situations.*"This roadmap through the field of theological interpretation of Scripture is a feast for the mind and for the edification of the church."*
