“This is a fine book—a much-needed book—and those who give themselves to following its guidance can expect to grow in both interpretive confidence and ability.”

“Even without seminary or Bible-college training, a layperson can become a competent student by performing Dan’s exercises at the end of each chapter.”
—George Robertson, Senior Pastor, Second Presbyterian Church, Memphis
“With his usual clarity and skill, Doriani shows us how to move from studying a passage to teaching it with integrity, power, conviction, and, most of all, with a heart for the glory of God. . . . An invaluable tool!”
