How to Read and Interpret the Bible (Part 2) - by Dr Abri Brancken
9 PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION (by Dr Abri Brancken)
When you want to understand something in the Bible, you must bridge the gap between the original audience and yourself. The fact that we are separated today from the original setting of the writing of Scripture makes the task of interpretation more challenging. For this reason, there are guidelines to help you determine the original intent of the Biblical writers.
Principle 1 - Consider the type of literature you are reading.
Principle 2 – Consider the context.
Principle 3 - The author’s intention.
Principle 4 - Read the text for its plain and obvious meaning
Principle 5 - Look carefully at the language of the text.
Principle 6 - Notice the various theological themes in the text.
Principle 7 - Use the Bible to help interpret itself.
Principle 8 - Always take a God-centered perspective for interpreting your text.
Principle 9 - Interpretation must be distinguished from application.
Christians must learn proper hermeneutics to interpret the Bible for themselves. Remember this. Hermeneutics matter because people are sinful, and sinful man, can twist the words of the Bible into something God didn’t ever intend.
