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.

One of the unique qualities of the Holy Scriptures is that they contain many types of literature, including history, laws, poetry, proverbs, epistles, parables, etc. The Bible includes different ways of using language, such as metaphors, typology, and figurative language. In this lesson, we will explore an introduction to the principles that help us interpret the different kinds of language and Genre that we find in our Bibles.
