A Primer on Biblical Literacy

What is Biblical Literacy? Surprisingly, not much has been published addressing this topic, Filling the void, this highly accessible introduction to the subject answers why Christians need to be biblically literate, what biblical literacy is, and how it is achieved. Though interpretive challenges face every reader of Scripture, they need not keep believers from gaining awareness of and proficiency in the Bible's clear teaching. Guided by the principle that the Bible can-and should-be understood, A Primer on Biblical Literacy, is a handy tool that will help readers achieve biblical literacy, and

grow in their understanding of, and reverence for, God's Word.
