Taught by God

In Taught by God, historical theologian and New Testament scholar Brandon D. Smith invites evangelicals to rediscover the early church's approach to Bible interpretation, not just as a historical relic but as a vibrant means of understanding the Bible today. Chapters devoted to each of fourfold senses the earliest believers saw in Scripture--literal, spiritual, moral, and anagogical--introduce the respective sense, provide historical examples and guidance on how to employ it responsibly, and demonstrate its use on sample passages.
