  2. Definition • From the Greek word hermeneuo • “To explain” or “To translate” • It is used in Jn 1:38, 42; 9:7 & Heb. 7:2 • Hermeneutics can refer to any kind of interpretation. • Biblical hermeneutics is the science of interpreting the Scripture

  3. Misunderstanding Scripture • There are at least 9 major causes of misinterpretation of Scripture • A failure to recognize the communication gaps existing between the modern reader and the people of the Bible • A failure to distinguish between the dispensations • A failure to recognize different covenants

  4. Continued • A failure to distinguish between three ethnics groups within the Bible • They are: The Jews, The Gentiles, and The Church • A failure to study all the Bible has to say about a given topic or subject • A failure to understand the context

  5. Continued • A failure to realize the prophetic gaps • A failure to understand the reason for parables • A failure to read out of Scripture (exegesis) but rather reading into (eisogesis) the Scriptures one’s own interpretation

  6. Hermeneutics At Work • Neh 8:8 • Distinctly (very carefully and thoughtfully) • Gave the sense (translation into a language the people could understand) • Understanding (they explained or interpreted the meaning)

  7. Tools • Do not become arrogant (I do not need any help in understanding the Scriptures) • Eunuch and Philip (Acts 8:30-31) • Pastors and Teachers (Eph 4:11-12) • Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance • Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Bible (not exhaustive) That is, it does not list every word in the Bible • Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words

  8. Commentaries • Commentaries within the Bible itself • Commentaries written by men such as: • Barnes • Matthew Henry • Vernon McGee • Adam Clarke • The Pulpit Commentaries

  9. Be Careful • Almost all commentaries are written by Trinitarians • Do not take their Hermeneutics (interpretations) on face value • But tried or prove it against the Word of God
