The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, How to Study the Bible's Use of the Bible: Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

How to Study the Bible's Use of the Bible: Audio Lectures by Gary Edward Schnittjer and Matthew S. Harmon is an essential resource aimed at teaching a hermeneutic for understanding the Bible's use of the Bible. Intended for students of both testaments, the series' innovative approach demonstrates how the Old Testament use of Scripture provides resources for the New Testament authors' use of Scripture. Lessons provide students with a clear approach to handling the Bible's use of itself through seven key hermeneutical choices organized into individual audio. Each lesson introduces a hermeneutical choice and then provides several examples of the Old Testament use of Old Testament and the New Testament use of Old Testament. The plentiful examples model for students the need to ground hermeneutics in biblical evidence and provide insight into understanding why the Bible's use of the Bible is important.
