Sound Principles Of Bible Interpretation
Hermeneutics
Context, Context, Context
Remember that the context is
most important
Consider the historical, grammatical and theological context
Take the words of prophecy in their normal literal, grammatical sense
Recognize the importance of the biblical covenants :
An Example
The Abrahamic Covenant is unconditional, eternal, unilateral, literal
When the normal sense makes good sense, seek no other sense.
Be aware of time gapsExample :
Dan. 9:24-27;John 5:28,29
Always interpret a seemingly vague passage in light of a clear passage related to it.
An Example
On the issue of salvation : Compare Eph. 2:8,9 with Phil. 2:12. It is clear salvation is not based on works!
