Hermeneutics

The lectures in this module are designed to teach a believer how to interpret and study the Bible himself. Paul wrote, in 2 Timothy, chapter 2, and verse 15, “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” In this pas- sage, our gaze is set on the Lord himself, not the applause or favor of men. We’re to strive to please the Lord, the Master we serve, and to labor in a manner that does not bring shame.

In this fourth lecture, we will consider another Biblical principle, the importance of Comparing Scripture with Scripture in our interpretation. You’ll notice how this principle builds on and flows from the foundational doctrines that we addressed in the second lecture. Our standard for rightly understanding the Bible is not tradition or new revelation, but Scripture itself.
