Top Highlights
“Any attempt to interpret the Bible must consider both its human and divine dimensions.” (source)
“A wholesome lesson always begins with healthy interpretation. So you must come to terms with the text before you can have anything meaningful to share from it. That’s why no-nonsense interpreters follow a hermeneutic, a sound system of principles that allows the text to speak for itself through exegesis, a procedure that consistently leads the truth out of Bible texts. Hermeneutics refers to the machinery, and exegesis to the method, of biblical interpretation.” (source)
“Homiletical Analysis—The exegetical process is incomplete until it brings out the author’s meaning to your audience. So you must explore the various ways that you may present what you have learned to your listeners.” (source)
“In your study of God’s Word, avoid incomplete conclusions. Don’t isolate a passage from what comes before or after it in the text. Instead, get the whole picture. To do this you will need to acquaint yourself with the context, the entire body of text surrounding a passage, which sheds light on its meaning.” (source)
“‘whenever the people of God are growing in grace, they will be constantly obtaining a clearer understanding of His word…. But as real spiritual life declines, it has ever been the tendency to cease to advance in the knowledge of the truth’” (source)
