Product Description
If non-specialists learn the correct principles and processes for hermeneutics, much more accurate and helpful biblical interpretation can be accomplished. Hermeneutics gives the reader not only an understanding of the principles of proper biblical interpretation but also the ability to apply those principles in sermon preparation, personal Bible study, or writing. This popular book outlines a five-step hermeneutical procedure that includes: (1) historical-cultural and contextual analysis, (2) lexical-syntactical analysis, (3) theological analysis, (4) genre identification and analysis, and (5) application. The second edition includes updated material covering developments in hermeneutics over the past twenty years. An Instructor's Resource CD containing teaching suggestions, Powerpoint slides, suggested answers to exercises, and supplementary handouts is available to Bible college and seminary professors.

 Review of Hermeneutics October 10, 2008
I read this book for a class that I was taking online. It well written and very informative with lots of additional sources cited.
There are numerous definitions for subjects that I had not heard of before so it is written even for someone who it's the first time with this subject.
Review: Hermeneutics by Virkler and Ayayo April 18, 2008
This is an extremely helpful work on the topic. It is both scholarly and friendly to the reader. The author takes a position while at the same time objectively presenting opposing views. Exercises are included for the reader as well as the teacher who wants to get the class involved. An instructor's companion CD is available through Baker Academic which is extremely valuable if you plan to teach from the text.
In short, this book has become a treasure in my library and I am grateful to Henry Virkler and Karelynne Gerber Ayayo for writing it (and revising it - 2nd edition). Thank you both.

Hermeneutics: Principles and Process of Biblical Interpretation, did exactly for me what I was expecting it to do. It gave me a greater knowledge of understanding the science and art of word meaning. For a lay person who does not hold a siminary degree, this book was a good introduction for biblical study.
a must have book!!! January 11, 2007

This book will teach you what you need to know and is very well put together. I advise anyone who wants to take the Bible serious this is the book for you.
Thank you Henry Virkler, i have learned more from your book than any other i used at Bible Collage and you put it in a easy format. You took a hard subject and made it accessible.

Virkler does an excellent job of presenting facts and theories, yet at the same time presents varying historical views of each sujbect. Some may object to the inclusion of alternative viewpoints on some subjects but I found this helpful in understanding how different people came up with their particular opinions. I found the research to be sound and extensive.
