Bruce Alderman disagrees with some of the principles of interpretation from Trivium Pursuit, which I referenced earlier, and has started a series on the same topic. His first principle is:

All this is a long way of introducing my first principle of biblical interpretation: “God, what are you trying to tell me through these scriptures?”

That sounds like an excellent question. I’ll be watching for the continued discussion.

One Response to More on Principles of Biblical Interpretation

  1. Tom says:

    You must first of all see that the bible is written by Jews to Jews and that includes the New Testament. You must put on a Hebrew mind set and remove all reference to chapters and verses as they did not exist in the orginal. When you do you have a Bible with seven battles clearly described when concludes with the the Great White Throne (Throne of Light, Hebrew). I can continue this if you are interested and describe these seven battlels which is about to occure again in the 5th battle.
