Congrats, you’ve made it through! Ready for more material? Here’s a place to get started…

First, I’d recommend Introduction to Biblical Interpretation by Klein, Blomberg, and Hubbard. It’s a bit dense, so don’t go to this one unless you’ve already ready the next two. It’s not for beginners, but I highly recommend it. Go for the newest edition.

Second, try Playing With Fire: How the Bible Ignites Change in Your Soul by Walt Russell.

After that, I’d go for How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth by Fee and Stewart.

As for other resources, try some of these. You might want to do an Amazon search for more info before making a purchase, but these are all great resources…
