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.

We must never lose track of the primary focus of the Bible, which is to set forth the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ and the revelation of God in him. If we do not intentionally ask ourselves, What does a given passage reveal about Christ? we will fail to interpret Scripture properly. In this lesson, we will explore the principle of interpreting Scripture with Christ at the center.
