Hermeneutics in the Modern Age

This is the newest episode in the Hermeneutics series! I hope you enjoy the progression from the Reformation into the modern era, and this will give us some more direction as we jump into specifics of Old and New Testament interpretation in the next few episodes! Resources (Free, Collections, Specific Works) - Logos (free, but has a paid version) - The Letter and Spirit of Biblical Interpretation - Keith D. Stanglin - bestcommentaries.com - ESV app: ESV study bible +6 others, 2 full commentary series, $4 a month. Incredible deal! - My FAVORITE commentary series: Baker New Testament Exegetical Commentaries or New International Commentaries. Both are top rated, but expensive. Study bibles may be better options, I really enjoy the ESV study Bible and the CSB study Bible.
