Since its publication in 1994, An Introduction to Biblical Hermeneutics has become a standard text for a generation of students, pastors, and serious lay readers. This second edition has been substantially updated and expanded, allowing the authors to fine-tune and enrich their discussions on fundamental interpretive topics. In addition, four new chapters have been included that address more recent controversial issues:• The role of biblical theology in interpretation• How to deal with contemporary questions not directly addressed in the Bible• The New Testament’s use of the Old Testament• The role of history in interpretationThe book retains the unique aspect of being written by two scholars who hold differing viewpoints on many issues, making for vibrant, thought-provoking dialogue. What they do agree on, however, is the authority of Scripture, the relevance of personal Bible study to life, and why these things matter.

______________

[This book] has been a fun and illuminating read. As opposed to a dry textbook this work opens with engaging examples in Chapter 1 from Shakespeare's Othello and in Chapter 2 from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, illustrating how confusing language can be without even requiring translation. The text is broken into four parts including Searching for Meaning, Understanding the Text, Responding to the Text, and The Search for Meaning. While drawing the student in through great examples, the lessons challenge them to think in newer ways such as Hans-Georg Gadamer’s concept of "The meaning of a text always goes beyond its author;” and Paul Ricoeur’s idea that "A text is semantically independent of the intention of its author.” The result forces the student to consider the manner in which we read, understand and apply the text. Each chapter offers a strong conclusion sub section, followed by endnotes. The work also offers a glossary and annotated bibliography to accompany the endnotes from each chapter. The authors come together from different hermeneutical views and collaborate to create this single work unifying the approach. This second edition has been updated to answer questions regarding analysis of Scripture regarding subjects such as gender roles, worship styles and other contemporary issues. In the final part, author Silva, while historically a not a strong proponent of Calvinism, offers a chapter on Calvinistic Hermeneutics, focusing on the methods of interpretation which lead to that distinctive theology. The book establishes itself as a great read for both the “expert” and the lay person. C. Fugee

A must for dry cracked heels.
Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
I have to keep on top of my feet because the bottom of my heels get really dry. I have to soak them every 2 weeks so they don't look like horse hooves. With the spring and summer coming, the feet get drier , flip flops and sandals or any shoes without shocks really make them feel worse. These REALLY help maintain my soles beautiful and cushiony. I love to be barefoot around the house and these give the the feel of barefeet and the comfort of a sock on the heel. At night i always put lotion on my feet but can't sleep with socks because i overheat, these i can put my lotion and then a little urea stick on the heel and put them on and sleep like a baby. These need to be hanwashed and air dried to preserve the integrity of the gel on the sock. Just be aware of that. Fit wise i am a 7.5 on the wider side and these fit very well without being tight anywhere. I also put these on with flip flops and they look great and feel better too.

definitely recommend these to anyone who’s struggling with rough dry heels
Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
I was pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of these socks. They feature a soft gel-lined interior that helps absorb intense moisture from my dry heels. After wearing them for a couple of nights, I noticed a significant improvement in the texture and appearance of my heels. These socks stay in place while sleeping and don’t slip off. Additionally, I appreciate that they are reusable and can be washed.

Really works!
Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
This is a true moisturizer sock that actually works to heal and nourish dry heels. You will definitely see a difference within the first 2 hours! The only thing for me is the scent is over bearing and too strong if your sensitive to smell. Let me know when a scentless sock are made and I'm there! 5 stars because the socks truly works.

Seem to do what they are advertised for.
Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
Price was decent. They fit fine. Decent colors. They give decent instructions of how to use them. I do feel that they give a decent support even though they're mainly for helping with dry cracked heels (which they also seem to do a decent job on). I haven't washed my first worn pair yet, but they seem like my regular socks in materials so they should hold up well.
