The need for a Bible-based hermeneutics is based on the fact that Scripture was written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, not in English, Latin, or German. Because of the difficulty in translating these ancient languages into modern vernacular, it is safe to say that no current Bible translation has been able to convey exactly what God has said or interpret precisely what He meant. For example, the Greek word kerusso is translated ‘to preach,’ but the Greek word specifically means “to announce or make known publicly by a herald.” This certainly conveys a different image of the word ‘preach’ when we learn its precise meaning. The rules of hermeneutics as presented in this resource will enable you to begin discovering God’s Word layer upon layer, using a Bible-based method that will help you obtain the most accurate interpretation of Scripture possible.
