Hermeneutics is the branch of knowledge that deals with interpretation, a behaviour that is intrinsic to our daily lives. As humans, we decipher the meaning of newspaper articles, books, legal matters, religious texts, political speeches, emails, and even dinner conversations every day . But how is knowledge mediated through these forms? What constitutes the process of interpretation? And how do we draw meaning from the world around us so that we might understand our position in it?

In this Very Short Introduction Jens Zimmerman traces the history of hermeneutic theory, setting out its key elements, and demonstrating how they can be applied to a broad range of disciplines: theology; literature; law; and natural and social sciences. Demonstrating the longstanding and wide-ranging necessity of interpretation, Zimmerman reveals its signifiance in our current social and political landscape.

Daily tasks in a wonderfully sacred light!
Wow! This is a wonderful way to remember that every moment is holy and should be honored. Well written! The illustrations are so good. I only wish there were twenty volumes instead of just 3!

An aid to the Bible to walk out Gods will for your life.
What a great book and addition to the volume series. When I first received my first volume some 2 years ago from my daughter and her pastor husband I thought it would just be another good self help book. Little did I know how God would use this series in every aspect, action and event of my life and how every moment and thought is a given chance by God to honor, worship and bring praise to the glory of His grace. Other than the Bible, I recommend above all other books to make it the guide and manual of how you walk out the Christian life in light of β€œEvery Moment being Holy.”

Must have resource for Christians.
Format: Imitation Leather
Getting the kindle version of this book was such a good choice! It’s nice to have it on my phone so that I can take screenshots and share prayers with friends. This collection is so wonderful and I’m really thankful that the rabbit room continues to produce more volumes.

Great to give as gifts
While I have enjoyed this book myself I think it's most valuable as a gift. I keep several on hand and give them out to friends when we meet up and it goes over really well.
