Principles of Scripture Interpretation

History

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.

History

The study of History is the study of the works of God. He sovereignly orchestrates all of the details at every stage in his unfolding plan and story. God’s providence supplies purpose and significance to all that takes place in history. The Word of God originated in an Historical Context, and we can only rightly understand it in light of that history.
