Basics of Biblical Interpretation
Time: 12:00 Saturday
Where: Elm Hall
Style: Interactive Workshop
Core Topic: Emerging
The interpretation of Scripture is a dynamic process because Christians approach the bible from different perspectives and contexts. These processes influence how we read, think about and make sense of Scripture. In this workshop, we will look at some useful tools of exegesis which seek to discover the ‘world behind the text’. We will also look at eisegesis which is a ‘reader centred interpretation’. With an understanding of both methods of biblical interpretation, we will collaborate on appropriate methods of interpretation for various areas of the teaching and preaching ministry.
