Bøger af Bernard Ramm

Desde su publicación inicial en 1950, La Interpretación Bíblica Protestante por Bernard Ramm ha llegado a ser el libro de texto normativo sobre hermenéutica en seminarios e institutos bíblicos evangélicos. En sus primeras dos ediciones se vendieron más de 100,000 ejemplares. Editorial Doulos se complace en hacer disponible por primera vez en español esta tercera edición. "La hermenéutica," escribe Ramm, "es la ciencia y el arte de la interpretación bíblica ... y por ello constituye uno de los miembros más importantes de la ciencia teológica. Esto cobra importancia suma para los protestantes conservadores ya que se considera a la Biblia como la única voz autoritativa de Dios al hombre". Después de un resumen panorámico de la historia de la interpretación bíblica, el autor se esmera por describir el sistema protestante de hermenéutica. Luego cubre los usos devocionales, prácticos y doctrinales de las Escrituras. Por fin, se enfrenta a los desafíos de la ciencia moderna y desglosa varios problemas hermenéuticos sobresalientes.

Since its publication in 1950, Protestant Biblical Interpretation has been a standard introduction to hermeneutics in evangelical colleges and seminaries. Twice revised, this textbook has sold well over 100,000 copies. Now this venerable resource is available in a paperback edition."Hermeneutics," writes the author, "is the science and art of Biblical interpretation. . . . As such it forms one of the most important members of the theological sciences. This is especially true for conservative Protestantism, which looks on the Bible as . . . the only authoritative voice of God to man."After surveying the history of biblical interpretation, the author devotes seventy pages to explicating "the Protestant system of hermeneutics." He then discusses the doctrinal, devotional, and practical uses of the Bible. Following a chapter on the hermeneutical dimension of the problem of biblical inerrancy and secular science, he concludes with chapters on the interpretation of types, prophecy, and parables.

The Witness of the Spirit is a clear and comprehensive treatment of the teaching of the Word of God concerning the inner witness of the Spirit of God. The book opens with an account of Calvin''s and Luther''s contribution to this important theme, followed by a survey of the theological reflection upon this subject from the days of the early Church Fathers to the present time. Dr. Ramm shows that the work of the Holy Spirit is not a single subject to be discussed in isolation from the total area of Christian theology; therefore, he helpfully relates it to the doctrine of the Trinity, of revelation, redemption, and the Scripture; and to Christian fellowship and the spiritual life. Dr. Ramm''s book is an invaluable and much needed contribution to a phase of the Spirit''s ministry, an aspect long neglected in evangelical thought.""Bernard Ramm has already distinguished himself by his writings in the area of conservative apologetics and theology. This latest volume from his pen is marked by the same qualities of relevance, forthrightness, and insight by which his writings have come to be so widely known. The Witness of the Spirit was written because of the author''s conviction that the doctrine of the testimonium has been sorely neglected in current discussions of revelation and authority. His book is an invaluable study and is sure to stimulate a fresh interest in a most timely and basic topic. When it comes to writing a book that is a must in the area it treats we can say of this volume that Ramm has done it again.""-Dr. Boyd Hunt in Christianity TodayBernard Ramm, professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, California Baptist Theological Seminary.
