Reviews

Have you ever wondered how to read the Bible for understanding? Or, are there any tools or resources to negotiate between different, or even, conflicting interpretations of the one and same passage? Here you have the resource to learn about that-and about so much more. A truly comprehensive orientation to all basic aspects of biblical interpretation written in a lucid and non-technical way, without compromising the academic integrity, Dr. Riku Tuppurainen's Peace with Scripture is the first primer to go to. An academic scholar, experienced missionary, and a seasoned pastor, he provides you a first-rate succinct and accessible guide to all-things-biblical-hermeneutics. - Rev. Dr. Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen, Professor of Systematic Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary and Docent of Ecumenics, University of Helsinki Riku Tuppurainen's Peace with Scripture emanates from decades of reading, studying, praying and living the Scriptures. The book is indeed a fine primer on how to interpret the Bible as Christian Scripture. I'll be using it in my teaching and will recommend it to students and pastors alike. - Rev. Dr. Simo Frestadius, Vice Principal of Regents Theological College, UK; Vice Chair of the World Alliance for Pentecostal Theological Education (WAPTE) Dr. Riku Tuppurainen's Peace with Scripture: A Transformative Spirit-Sensitive Interpretation is an excellent resource for students, pastors, and anyone interested in learning how to read the Bible in more enriching and productive ways. In a refreshing manner, Tuppurainen relates a Spirit-sensitive approach to the broad field of biblical hermeneutics. The outcome, though comprehensive, is accessible and though academically rigorous remains a practically relevant resource for a spiritually transforming reading of the biblical text. - Rev. Dr. David Trementozzi, Dean of Graduate Studies and Professor of Theology, Continental Theological Seminary, Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Belgium; Co-Editor of Journal of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity Fantastic! Finally, a book on Hermeneutics that introduces not only the academic, but also the pastor, elder, serious student of the Bible at a Bible college, and any highly motivated reader of the Bible to the art of Hermeneutics! Well written, this book on hermeneutics takes the work of the Holy Spirit seriously into account, recognising His guidance in helping the reader adopt the right attitude and engage with the biblical text in the proper way-an essential key to understanding its intended meaning. My deep gratitude and appreciation for this excellent work, Professor Dr. Tuppurainen. - Dr. Ralf Lubs, Academic Dean and Lecturer of Biblical Studies, Continental Theological Seminary in Belgium
