The book begins with the basics—a synopsis of biblical history and of the content of the books of the Bible. It provides an acquaintance with the tools for interpreting the Bible; various methods of interpreting the Bible; the mental process of interpreting any verbal communication (whether oral or written); the influence of culture on biblical writers and speakers; the problems of translating the Bible from one culture to another; the figures of speech, prophecy, typology, symbolism, and apocalyptic literature in the Bible; the development of the canon of the scripture; the purpose of the Bible; and a tool for applying biblical teaching to contemporary issues.

This book analyzes the story of Stephen, the first Christian martyr, both in terms of rhetorical fittingness, and Christian tradition concerning the significance of his dying forgiveness prayer. It questions the historicity of the account of his death, underscores Acts' rhetorical violence, and reads Acts against narratives of the martyrdom of James as a means to a richer history of early Jewish-Christian relations.

There are many books about how people ought to interpret the Bible. This book is about how people in churches actually interpret the Bible, and why they interpret it in the way that they do. Based on a study of Anglicans in the Church of England, it explores the interaction of belief, personality, experience and context and sheds new light on the way that texts interact with readers. The author shows how the results of such study can begin to shape an empirically-based theology of scripture. This unique study approaches reader-centred criticism and the theology of scripture from a completely new angle, and will be of interest to both scholars and those who use the Bible in churches.
