This book does not purport to be a comprehensive guide to biblical hermeneutics, and it is not. However, despite its limitations, I heartily recommend it for pastors and college students as a supplement to other, more detailed texts on biblical interpretation. The approach of Briggs is thoughtful and respectful. He is not a fundamentalist, but he affirms the authority, inspiration, and power of Scripture.
