The book combines the topics of how the Bible was made and how to interpret it, emphasizing the importance of understanding the composition and transmission of the Bible in the hermeneutical process. Dr. Shepard begins the book with a discussion on canon, highlighting the formation of the whole text and its theological presuppositions. He also explores the self-interpretation of the Bible at both the micro and macro levels, showing how the text guides readers in understanding its meaning. The chapter on the transmission of the Hebrew Bible delves into the complexity of the textual landscape, including the traditional Masoretic text, the Septuagint, the Samaritan Pentateuch, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Dr. Shepard also examines the structure of the Pentateuch, focusing on the major poetic units and the framing of the law, which anticipates the failure of the covenant and the future new covenant. Shepherd emphasizes the importance of understanding the textual world of the Bible and contextualizing ourselves to the biblical authors' questions and issues. He also addresses the challenges of teaching the Bible in a post-literate culture and the value of theological education in equipping leaders for the local church.#canon #bible #biblicalstudies #biblicalinterpretation #biblicalinspiration #hebrewbible #pentateuch #covenant #newtestament #minorprophets #torah Grab your copy of The Making and Meaning of the Bible: https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Making-Meaning-Bible/dp/0802883931/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13ZHK8TP5GI3E&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.uBMkkdtHvXGf1VceLuEJOO7wmZc0CsWuVqynxA_dgbMKfZQMREWq7HKk4-QVUct34l5hYP_0nOiKKzISQEFQc-JEtBiymUMZ9S1mLLQFMh6LrsB6_LomVg_VTdRBkr7DVJk0bpxM4H8QZU8EkqyrXKeDnEBd_NcEX0ZZemLXOS740iNfB9SyIU2cyI3SP4sBHeLwBdip9ThZANyDMVTTpLBNjDkN1h5DiXh5OxkNFeg.2FfmdpjMXELmI-GnWRaPftus2C9sy9duZBpucMXg9o4&dib_tag=se&keywords=michael+shepherd&qid=1725830777&sprefix=michael+shepher%2Caps%2C179&sr=8-2
