Note:The who, why, and how of interpretation. Welcome to the hermeneutical triad: history, literature, and theology -- Interpretation: the hermeneutical triad. The context of scripture: history. Setting the stage: historical-cultural background -- The focus of scripture: literature. The Old Testament canon: the law, the prophets, and the writings -- The New Testament canon: the gospels, Acts, epistles, and apocalypse -- Enjoying a good story: Old Testament historical narrative -- A word from the wise: poetry and wisdom -- Back to the future: prophecy -- Hearing the good news: New Testament historical narrative (gospels and Acts) -- Calling for discernment: parables -- Going by the letter: epistles -- Visions of the end: apocalyptic literature (Revelation) -- The importance of context: grammar, syntax, and discourse -- The meaning of words: linguistics, semantics, and exegetical fallacies -- A way of speaking: interpreting figurative language -- The goal: theology. Making the connection: getting our theology from the Bible -- Application and proclamation: God's word coming to life. Getting down to earth: using the tools, preaching and applying the word.
