- Regarding the FORM of this book: I don't know about the paper version, but this Faithlife e-book desperately needs an editor. Typos everywhere, random changes in font size from paragraph to paragraph (like, triple the size), repeated paragraphs (copy and pasted?), duplicate words, major grammatical errors. There's so much of this that it is distracting to the read. (Probably these aren't due to the original authors, but rather to whoever digitized the manuscript for Faithlife). Regarding the CONTENT of the book: Really appreciate the overview of all the critical methods and their historical, philosophical, and presuppositional underpinnings, and comparing those to the reformational historical-grammatical hermeneutic. Also, some clear examples how critical methods are being embraced in conservative evangelicalism. Ch. 3 and Ch. 9 (both by the same author) seemed very similar - perhaps a good editor needs to carefully review these. Got the sense in ch. 9 that I was re-reading previous material from earlier chapters.
- Thanks for the review, Jason. I'm purchasing this book as reference material for a dissertation.
