Editorial Reviews
Review
'Simultaneously traditional and creative, this impressive volume offers a welcome introduction to Reformed dogmatics.' - Matthew Levering, Professor of Theology, University of Dayton, OH, USA.--Sanford Lakoff
'Trinity, Revelation, and Reading becomes in Swain's hands a three-stranded cord for the theological interpretation of Scripture that is not easily bettered. Swain derives his key interpretive categories from the Bible's own storyline. He also locates biblical interpretation, and Scripture itself, in the triune economy of covenantal communication for the sake of communion, thereby putting feet on the idea that Scripture is its own best interpreter. This is a fresh yet sound and richly satisfying account of why and how the church is to think about and read the Bible "as what it really is, the word of God" (1 Thess. 2:13).' - Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Blanchard Professor of Theology, Wheaton College and Graduate School, IL, US.--Sanford Lakoff

- Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2017This is a phenomenal book for helping those who are little familiar with scripture better appreciate the very nature of scripture. Swain shows that, in the reading of scripture, God communicates himself to us such that we might have a sincere, real friendship with him. It is precise, deep, carefully thought out, and very readable. It is a great intro for knowing how to better read scripture.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2013This is a helpful resource for anyone who desires to better understand the Bible. God reveals much about himself through the holy Scriptures. It's worth the effort to read this helpful guide.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2024Very insightful and Trinitarian focus. Brought a more profound understanding in reading and studying scripture.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2020Great for pastors and lay leaders alike! Read this and be reminded of Gods love in the revelation of scripture.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2014Very explicit and foundational booj
- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2013Read as a textbook for a DMin program of study, Swain shows a methodology for biblical interpretation that requires the reader to interact with both the biblical text and the author himself. This book cannot be read without being challenged to look into the Word.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2016Purchased these for a friend in seminary. They are a book so should be 100% what you are looking for if you have the title and author right. I didn't hear of any issues with quality from him.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2013A masterful job of showing the sovereignty of God in His Self revelation to whom He wills, and reminding us that the true beauty of the Scriptures, is that Christ is found as the pearl of great price.

4.0 out of 5 stars very insightful
Concise but yet thorough and incredibly trinitarian!
Recommend to anyone who wishes to get grounded in the relationship between covenant relationship and scripture.
