“Primer on Biblical Methods is a practical, user-friendly guide to the essential methodologies of contemporary biblical studies. I commend Prof. Carvalho for this elegant overview that does not overwhelm but rather provides students with a solid foundation in the principles of exegesis and biblical interpretation. Instructors will find this introduction to methodologies well written and rich with information. Examples from biblical texts and exercises help students grasp the applications of modern and post-modern methodologies. I recommend Primer on Biblical Methods as an invaluable resource for students of Scripture at any level.”
