Hermeneutics Overview

  • Rules for exegesis (explaining text).

  • Approaches:

    1. Devotional (personal),

    2. allegorical (hidden),

    3. historical-critical (skeptical),

    4. postmodern (perspective-based),

    5. grammatical-historical (authorial intent).

  • We’ll be using the grammatical-historical hermeneutic: understand original meaning

7 Steps for Interpretation

  1. Pray for illumination.

  2. Determine genre (narrative, poetry, etc.).

  3. Establish text (variants/translations).

  4. Study text: Words, grammar, structure.

  5. Explore larger context: Paragraphs, shifts, chiasm, inclusio.

  6. Book as whole: Author, audience, occasion, purpose, mode.

  7. Biblical intertextuality: Quotes, allusions, related books.

Conclusion: Restorationists seek authorial intent.
