STUDYING AND UNDERSTANDING THE BIBLE

The Act of Bible Reading: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Biblical Interpretation by Gordon D. Fee, Craig M. Gay, James Houston, J.I. Packer, Eugene Peterson, and Loren Wilkinson. Edited by Elmer Dyck. Intervarsity Press, soft cover, 182 pages. Members of the Regent College staff jointly articulate an approach to Bible reading that crosses many disciplines. History and canon are discussed as contexts for interpretation, showing  the importance of historical-grammatical interpretation within the canonical setting. J. I. Packer explores the importance of theology both as it informs and as it safeguards Bible reading. Craig Gay brings his insights on sociology as it relates to what the text says. Loren Wilkinson discusses modern secular hermeneutics and the postmodern reaction against truth. James Houston puts everything into perspective with his closing comments, emphasizing that the purpose of Bible reading must be growing in godliness -- not just mere scholarship. . $11.69-D

CCS Online: Classical Education with a Twist: You might want to look into these online courses in history, theology, Bible, and government that grow out of a comprehensive Christian world view. These would be for high school and college level home school students.

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
 

We prefer you ask your questions about products and availability by e-mail, since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually have to call you back or email you anyway.  We do check our e-mail frequently throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or "Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam messages look like that. 
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee your mail will be opened fast.
Or call (800)925-8587 (not before 10 AM or after 10 PM Pacific Time)
