| Summary: | A review of a second edition is best done by starting with the preface of the first edition, this being Interpreting the Bible: A Handbook of Terms and Methods, published by Hendrickson Publishers in 2006. Tate was motivated to write this book when realising that the few handbooks available on the market were limited in scope to the NT, to the OT, or to other particular areas of interest. He noted that it was often the case that if a pastor, scholar or student or anybody interested wanted to know something about a particular method they would have to "sift through hundreds of pages in a variety of scholarly works." He found that most of these works were "written by scholars with other scholars as the target audience," the result being that "the language is unaccessible to the non-specialist." He therefore took it upon himself to do the sifting and to condense the material into "manageable synopses that employ scholarly but accessible terminology" (ix). |
