How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth

By Gordon D. Fee and Douglas Stuart. Fourth edition (Zondervan).

The Bible holds many kinds of writing: stories, laws, poetry, prophecy, wisdom, gospels, letters and apocalyptic visions. Each one asks to be read a little differently. Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart walk through them one at a time and show how to ask two questions of every passage: what did it mean to the people who first heard it, and what does it mean for us today?

I recommend this book because it gives the reader the proper understanding of how to read and understand the different genres encountered in the Scriptures.
