I just reviewed this book for Books at a Glance:
Ben Witherington III. Reading and Understanding the Bible. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014.
Here are four similar books I recommend more highly:
- Robert L. Plummer, 40 Questions about Interpreting the Bible (40 Questions; Grand Rapids: Kregel, 2010).
- Robert H. Stein, A Basic Guide to Interpreting the Bible: Playing by the Rules (2nd ed.; Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2011).
- J. Scott Duvall and J. Daniel Hays, Grasping God’s Word: A Hands-On Approach to Reading, Interpreting, and Applying the Bible (3rd ed.; Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2012).
- Andreas J. Köstenberger and Richard D. Patterson, For the Love of God’s Word: An Introduction to Biblical Interpretation (Grand Rapids: Kregel, 2015).
