Biblical Hermeneutics | Timothy Sooyoung Lee | Non-fiction

This book was created in response to a request from students who studied Biblical Hermeneutics with me. They asked for a resource to review the content and as a reference for future ministry work. It is based on the lecture notes I used in the classroom, where we discussed what the Bible is and how to read it. Although this book was originally written for those students, it is also designed for all Christian readers interested in reading and reflecting on Scripture.

The primary aim of this book is to equip readers with a solid foundation in biblical interpretation while offering practical guidance for applying it in ministry. Drawing on years of classroom teaching and discussions with students, I present the essential principles and methodologies of hermeneutics in a clear, accessible manner. The goal is to help readers not only deepen their understanding of Scripture but also interpret and communicate it faithfully, especially in the context of preaching and pastoral ministry.

As the title suggests, this book is not focused on doctrinal issues or advanced hermeneutical theories, but rather it offers practical content rooted in my teaching experience.
