Two Steps of Interpretation

  • What it meant to them (historical context).

  • What it means today (application, next lecture).

  • Example: Rom 13:7 (pay taxes) – under Nero’s tyranny.

Avoid Time Problems

  • Anachronism: Reading modern ideas back (e.g., Adam’s computer).

  • Metachronism: Assuming ancients were primitive.

Historical Context Tools

  • Date book/author.

  • Research events (e.g., Nero’s reign).

  • Cultural insights: Honor/shame, patron-client.

Resources

  • Bible dictionaries, encyclopedias.

  • Ancient literature: Josephus, Mishnah.

  • Archaeology: Ur, Jericho walls.

  • Epigraphy: Sennacherib Prism.

  • Geography: Visit Holy Land.
