Good Goal, Poor Outcome

Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart's goal is to provide a book that bridges the gap between the scholar and the layperson. This book is broken down in thirteen chapters. Fee, the New Testament scholars of the two, wrote chapters 1-4, 6-8, and 13, while Stuart, the Old Testament scholar, wrote chapters 5 and 9-12. Chapter 1 deals with the need to interpret, chapter 2 deals with choosing a translation, and chapters 3-13 deal with principles for interpreting the different genres of biblical literature.^M
