I know there was a link last week to the set of articles in the ESV Study Bible on Reading the Bible, but I thought it might be helpful to list them individually here:

  • Reading the Bible Theologically, by J.I. Packer (pp. 1-2)
  • Reading the Bible as Literature, by Leland Ryken (pp. 3-4)
  • Reading the Bible in Prayer and Communion with God, by John Piper (pp. 4-6)
  • Reading the Bible for Personal Application, by David Powlison (pp. 6-8)
  • Reading the Bible for Preaching and Public Worship, by R. Kent Hughes (pp. 8-10)

There are also essays on the basics of biblical interpretation (by Dan Doriani) and a historical overview of biblical interpretation (by John Hannah)–though these essays aren’t included in the section linked above.

If you haven’t read Michael Spencer’s interview with David Powlison related to his essay, it’s well worth your time.
