Bible Study Guidelines – Hermeneutic
Romans 13:14 (NKJV)14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
2 Corinthians 5:16 (NKJV)16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.
The Need for Hermeneutic
Romans 13:14 (NIV1984)14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
2 Corinthians 5:16 (NIV)16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

Aim: To understand and obey the Word of God Limitation:
The reader as an interpreter: we bring to the text all that we are, with all our experiences, culture, and prior understandings of words and ideas.
The nature of the Scripture: “The Bible is the Word of God given in the words of people in history.” – Prof. George Ladd. God’s Word has eternal relevance; it speaks to all humankind, in
every age and in every culture. Because God chose to speak his Word through human words in
history, every book in the Bible also has historical particularity. Interpretation of the Bible is demanded by the “tension” that
exists between its eternal relevance and its historical particularity.
Exegesis is the careful, systematic study of the Scripture to discover the original intended meaning. The key to good exegesis is to learn to read the text carefully and to ask the right questions of the text.The two basic kinds of questions: Those that relate to historical context and those that relate to literacy. • The Historical Context: occasion and purpose• The Literary Context: Reading contextually
First Task: Exegesis
Interpretation – to ask the contemporary relevance of ancient texts.Why can’t we start with the now and here? The only proper control for interpretation (hermeneutics) is to be found in the original intent of the biblical text.
Second task: Interpretation
Examples29 Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them? (1 Cor. 15:29)
18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Mark 16:18
