Overview
New Testament Exegesis: Understanding and Applying the New Testament (BI206) teaches how to study, interpret, and apply the NT using twelve logical steps. The course provides a thorough demonstration of how the exegetical process is performed, complete with extensive examples, and each unit includes a list of resources for further study. Priority is consistently given to the biblical text itself, with the exhortation to become careful readers of God’s Word and ultimately to be mastered by it.
Top Highlights
“Hermeneutics concerns principles of interpretation. It’s about how the interpretive process works, and exegesis applies those principles. Hermeneutics supplies the tools to discover a text’s meaning, and exegesis uses those tools.” (source)
“Exegesis includes but is not limited to parsing, word study, and syntax at various levels (clause, sentence, discourse, genre) while being sensitive to literary features and the running argument. The text means what the text’s author meant. Exegetes are concerned primarily with interpreting a text—that is, discovering what the author meant. And when the text is the Bible, we must never stop with exegesis; we must also do theology—biblical, historical, systematic, and practical theology. We must apply what the text means in our contexts.” (source)
“ Johann Albrecht Bengel’s advice: ‘Apply yourself wholly to the text and apply the text wholly to yourself.’” (source)
“Seventh principle: Be aware of historical or cultural background issues.” (source)
“Number two: Read the Bible as a book that points to Jesus.” (source)
