||Book Summary|| Thompson’s book provides nine introductory tours into the history of interpretation of difficult parts of Bible, and gives directions for those who wish to strike out and explore the interpretive landscape of the past for themselves – and for their church.

||Book Summary|| The vast majority of current Bible study books and methods aim to help the reader understand what biblical texts meant for their original audience so that its message can be faithfully applied to modern audiences. This process is essentially a two-way dialogue: there is the text, and there is the reader. David Parris’ Reading the Bible with Giants promotes the value of a third voice. This third dialogue partner is the history of interpretation that stands between us and the original writing of the text.
