A Trusted Guide to the Practice of Biblical Interpretation

This guide to the theory and practice of biblical hermeneutics explores a communication model as an effective approach to interpreting the Bible. The second edition has been revised and updated throughout.

"Scripture as Communication is the mainstay in my hermeneutics course, and Brown's second edition adds broader biblical scope and greater attention to both ancient historical context and non-Western perspectives. For readers who want to listen to the Bible better, there is no better book to help achieve a more faithful reading."
--Lynn H. Cohick, Northern Seminary

"Interpreting Scripture appropriately--to shape the faith and life of Christian communities--can be challenging. Brown's eclectic communication model is a balanced, engaged approach to the theory and practice of scriptural interpretation. Her accessible treatment of complex topics, illustrated with examples from both Scripture and daily life, will be helpful to theological students and instructors alike."
--Michael J. Gorman, St. Mary's Seminary & University

"Brown's expertise and pastoral sensitivity shine as she helps empower readers by navigating the turbulent waters of biblical interpretation. She honors the perspectives of ethnic-minority Bible readers in the United States as well as those in the Majority World. With clarity and thoroughness, Scripture as Communication makes biblical hermeneutics accessible to a wide range of readers."
--Dennis R. Edwards, author of What Is the Bible and How Do We Understand It?

"If you are ready for a hermeneutical framework that moves beyond thinking about Scripture to living its truth; if you are ready to engage key hermeneutical voices, both old and new(er); if you are ready to learn to interpret not just texts but also the broader realities of human life and experience, then this is the book for you."
--Holly Beers, Westmont College

"While hermeneutics can be intimidating for those beginning their journey into deeper study of the Bible and theology, Brown gently and creatively introduces readers to this crucial subject. Her approach is shaped by years of mentoring students and studying the Scriptures herself. An essential guide for all interested in hearing the voice of Scripture in challenging times."
--Mark J. Boda, McMaster Divinity College
