A veteran Old Testament teacher shows the theological instincts that are necessary for reading, understanding, and communicating Scripture faithfully.

Veteran Old Testament teacher Mark Gignilliat explores the theological and hermeneutical instincts that are necessary for reading, understanding, and communicating Scripture faithfully. He takes seriously the gains of historical criticism while insisting that the Bible must be interpreted as Christian Scripture, offering students a "third way" that assigns proper proportion to both historical and theological concerns. Reading and engaging Scripture requires not only historical tools, Gignilliat says, but also recognition of the living God's promised presence through the Bible.

Mark S. Gignilliat (PhD, University of St. Andrews) is professor of divinity at Beeson Divinity School, Samford University, and serves as canon theologian at the Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama. He is the author of several books, including A Brief History of Old Testament Criticism.
