"With this text, Dr. Bobo has done a wonderful service to those who hunger, thirst or just wonder what the Bible is all about. Luke's wonderful burden to help and care for others crystallizes in this work of academic compassion. I am so grateful for Luke's excellent writing and Christ-like example."

"Dr. Luke Bobo's A Layperson's Guide to Biblical Interpretation is a profound, principled, practical, and, at many points, personal primer that will encourage exegetes in the pulpit and the pew to explore the treasured truth of the Bible more effectively. . . . This helpful guide will assuage the fears, sharpen the focus, and fortify the faith of beginning or advanced students of the Bible who desire to draw closer in head, heart, and hand to the One the Bible proclaims as both Creator and Redeemer."
