Learn the Commonsense Approach to Studying Scripture The Bible is the written Word of God, and it is treasured by many. But it is also an ancient book about people and cultures very different than us. While we know we should read it, many of us have a hard time understanding the Bible. In this expanded edition of Knowing Scripture with a preface by J. I. Packer, R. C. Sproul helps us uncover the meaning of Scripture for ourselves. The author says, "The theme of this book is not how to read the Bible but how to study the Bible." He presents in simple, basic terms a commonsense approach to studying Scripture and eleven practical guidelines for biblical interpretation and applying what we learn. Sproul tackles many of the knotty questions regarding interpreting the Bible, including discovering the meanings of biblical words; understanding Hebrew poetry, proverbs and parables; approaching historical and didactic passages; being careful with predictive prophecy; discerning how culture conditions the Bible; and choosing and using Bible translations, commentaries, Bible software, and other study aids. This classic book is a must-have for both beginning Bible readers and experienced students of Scripture. Get the tools to study and apply Scripture with clarity and confidence with Knowing Scripture . Review: Do you want to know scripture? - If you are someone who is knew to studying the Bible this book is a great introduction to help equip you for that task which will lead you to knowing scripture in a deeper way. If you have tried to study the Bible on your own but are not familiar with hermeneutics this book will be a prefect starting point for you as well. Hermeneutics is the science of biblical interpretation. Its goal is to give rules to interpret the Bible in a way where you will leave with true biblical accurate conclusions grounded in scripture. Instead of leaving with unbiblical conclusions that you thought were grounded in scripture but in reality, weren't. All Christians are going to interpret the Bible at some point but there is no need to feel overwhelmed because this book will give you the basic rules from a seasoned expert to help you in your interpreting of scripture. Paul the apostle told Timothy to continue in the things he learned (scripture). That same commandment of Paul is for us as well. We must continue in the revelational truths found in scripture and we must continue in them with an accurate understanding of them. Because if we don't accurately understand them, we aren't obeying Paul because we are no longer continuing in Gods truth but a distortion of that truth. And that is why learning to study the Bible (learning hermeneutics) is so important for our Christian faith. If you want to know scripture and continue in Gods truth than get this book titled for what you are seeking (Knowing Scripture). Review: good instruction - Organization and some type of logical structure to apply to our Biblical learning is needed otherwise we completely go off track in both how we interpret and consistency in interpretation. RC Sproul is an easy to understand way of studying the Bible and is consistent in terms of something to apply. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #24,467 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #32 in Christian Pastoral Resources (Books) #36 in Christian Bible Exegesis & Hermeneutics #425 in Christian Bible Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 906 Reviews | ## Images ![Knowing Scripture - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61kG+-OrWAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Do you want to know scripture? *by D***L on March 8, 2026* If you are someone who is knew to studying the Bible this book is a great introduction to help equip you for that task which will lead you to knowing scripture in a deeper way.

RC Sproul is an easy to understand way of studying the Bible and is consistent in terms of something to apply. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ overall great read *by C***N on July 29, 2025* This book has a great balance of interesting topics and an “easy to read and follow” format. For a short read, the material seemed pretty inclusive and hits a lot of big issues regarding translations, historical background, common misconceptions etc…. This is a clear, concise, and rather interesting read that should give the reader useful insight and a bit more confidence when approaching accurate handling of scripture.
