How to Read the Bible Like a Seminary Professor: A Practical and Entertaining Exploration of the Worlds Most Famous Book: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "How to Read the Bible Like a Seminary Professor: A Practical and Entertaining Exploration of the Worlds Most Famous Book" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Many people admire and even revere the Bible, but they simply do not understand what they read, much less how to study Scripture. Yet they wish they could. In this insightful and alternately amusing guide, Professor Mark Yarbrough shows how easy and gratifying it is to unlock the hidden truths of Gods Word and to discover a world where reading the Bible doesnt just satisfy our curiosity, but changes our life.
To do this, the reader will step into the seminary classroom and observe the practical principles-the tricks of the trade-for becoming a more effective student of the Bible. But Yarbrough has made sure that his writing style and general approach will be appealing to both academic students and those involved in lay-level Bible study.
Real life is whacky and in-your-face. Studying Scripture should be too.

Praise for
HOW TO READ THE BIBLE LIKE A SEMINARY PROFESSOR

Following in the footsteps of Howard Hendricks, Mark Yarbroughs insightful, relevant, and many times humorous book is a Kingdom tool for comprehendingand applyingGods great Word. You will be challenged, and better equipped, to be a lifelong student of Scripture. I highly recommend this work for your church, school, ministry, or personal study.

Tony Evans, senior pastor of the Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship and president of The Urban Alternative

A MUST-READ book for this generation! Never before in the history of the church in America has the study of the Scriptures been so important. Mark has absolutely nailed a long-needed exhortation to dig into The Book, but also the tools for effective digging.

Dr. Dennis Rainey, CEO and president, FamilyLife

After forty years of teaching, I have now found the best introduction to the wide world of biblical interpretation. Mark Yarbrough has a gift for synthesis without sacrificing scope. HOW TO READ THE BIBLE LIKE A SEMINARY PROFESSOR will inform you and motivate you to want to study Gods Word at deeper levels than ever before. I love it!

Mark L. Bailey, president, Dallas Theological Seminary

This is the best book on understanding and interpreting the Bible Ive ever seen. Practical, easy to understand, scholarly but accessible, and filled with insights and tools for a lifetime of knowing God through His Word.

Chip Ingram, teaching pastor of Living on the Edge and author of Culture Shock: A Biblical Response to Todays Most Divisive Issues

Tragically, people in the church today do not know the Word of Godnor how to study it. We must reverse that trend. Dr. Mark Yarbrough provides us a needed model, and encouragement, for recapturing the lost virtue of effective Bible study. This book will not teach you to master Gods Word, but to be mastered by it. HOW TO READ THE BIBLE LIKE A SEMINARY PROFESSOR is a tool that every Christian should have in their library.

Will Graham, vice president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and executive director of the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove

(19552013)

Im thankful I took a phone call in the fall of 2012because it was then that I met Lee Hough. Our first discussion was jovial and frivolous. After hanging up the phone I thought, What a great guy. I then did a web search and discovered that Lee was a high-profile literary agent. Little did I know that discussion would lead to this project, and little did I know that Lee would serve as my representative. I also didnt know that his excitement for this book would lead hima gifted writerto serve as its content editor at its commencement. And little did anyone know, other than the Lord, that Lee would go home to be with his Savior in September 2013. When he called to tell me his brain cancer had returned, he quietly commented, Mark, Im sorry I wont be there to help you finish the book. I really wanted to make the journey with you. That was Lee. Always thinking of others. The completion of this project is certainly bittersweet because of his absence, but his warmth is still felt from page to page and through the gentle direction of its content. Lee made the journey; he just did it from a much superior vantage point. Shalom, my brother. Cheer us on from the grandstands (Hebrews 12:13).

A project of this size is a community endeavor, and it is appropriate to pause, because I owe much to many. Some are unnamedlike my students. You have molded me. You are such a joy to teach. I appreciate every pointed question and classroom challenge. Each one of you is a blessing. My church family, Centerpoint Church, has always been a source of strength and encouragement. They have put up with my preaching and teaching for years (!), and have taught me the importance of authenticity. Thank you, especially, to John and Jan Finklea for reading some early chapters and providing excellent feedback. I also am deeply indebted to my fellow faculty members at Dallas Theological Seminary. You are brilliant men and women of faith, and your passion for students continues to motivate me. Thank you for tolerating my many ideas. I would also like to thank Dr. Mark Bailey, president of DTS. Thank you for the opportunity to serve alongside you for so many years. Your camaraderie is a treasure, and it is an honor to teach this discipline with you. My thoughts and teaching methodologies have been formed by both you and Prof (the late Howard Hendricks). I can truly say I do not know where your words end and mine begin.

To Joey Paul and my faithful publishing friends at FaithWords, thank you for believing in this project. Joeyyour prayers of encouragement propelled me on several occasions. To my agent, Bryan Norman, and the entire team at
