Principles of Biblical Interpretation: Part 1 of 6

The Bible, God's Word, is the most important book that mankind possesses. No other book even comes close in importance, because the Bible contains revelation from God upon which the eternal destiny of every human depends. Yet the Bible is not always easy to understand. Written by approximately 40 authors over a span of nearly 1500 years, the 66 books of the Bible were written in varying cultures, languages, locations, and situations. Nonetheless, the Bible shows an amazing internal consistency that can only be explained as the result of God's own supervision of the writing process so that what ended up on the pages of Scripture is God's own word, expressed through human authors. In this six part course, we will examine the nature of Scripture, consider principles for correctly interpreting Scripture, and then work through the process of interpretation in three workshop sessions, examining numerous passages from the Bible. The three workshop sessions are also accompanied by a Q&A session recorded when the course was first presented to the Grace Christian Church in Manila, Philippines. If you want to understand Scripture, but you're not sure where to start, this course is for you. Enjoy, and my God bless your study of His priceless Word.

David,

Your clarity here is incredibly helpful!
I recently read your thesis on the study of the enthronement of Christ. Super interesting.
Jazzes me up about digging into the word with a literal hermeneutic.
Appreciate your work!

Yes, wonderful teachings. I am taking careful notes, that I can teach this in Bible Study or Sunday school. It is so evident now why there is such division. I hear so many people say that they were taught that knowledge is pride. I'm praying we will grow into the Ephesians 4 church. God bless!

I can’t believe there is only one comment about such excellent teaching like this!! Maybe it’s a revelation!! GOD hides it and reveal it to only us few who are sent to get this information for such a time as this!!
Never at any moment my brother should you think you wasted your energy here!! Only GOD will reveal to you what this obedience to post it gave birth to!! GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY.

6:40 I'm in a theology class and my instructor put this video for us to watch because he said it gave him so much more clarity. Since we are starting interpretation class he thought that it would benefit us to watch it. He was so excited about this video I decided to watch it. Because my last interpretation class i didn't understand some or none of it. So thank God for you doing this and giving people understanding of bible interpretation .😊

Hello, I was wonder What Bible you study? Also, I study the Christian Standard Bible Life Connection Study Bible.

You should not discuss other religions in your teachings because you don't understand it. The Bible you protestants use is our Catholic Bible. Protestants should start your own Bible.
