this was great and it allowed me to understand where exegesis fits into it also. That whole proces is hermeutics but the breaking down of that letter to get what the writer meant would be exegesis.
I've been reading a lot about hermeneutic phenomenology and not understood a single description until I found you. Thank you for clarifying this concept for me. God bless you, from Tucson, Arizona🌵
This was VERY helpful. I'm a Lit & Writing major and we're looking at hermeneutics and sometimes we just need things simplified to get it! Oh, also, you're totally adorable. :)
3:35 A 4th factor identified in hermeneutics is the second reader: they bring their own values, morals and understanding to the text they are reading, they will naturally change the meaning of what they are reading simply by living in another era, coming from a different country or language. It is something we need to take into account and hopefully limit its effect on what we interpret.
My preacher preaches almost exclusively expository sermons. He is quoted as saying, words only have meaning in the context in which they are found. He also says you have to earn the right to preach topically. All too often sermons I hear online that are topical literally rip the words out of context and make them mean something that was never the original intention of the author. So, you end up with the absolute mess of denominations we have today.
Your preacher is a liar either in ignorance or for profit aka tithing...501c3 contributions. I know he spews lies based on this... *"I(YaHUsHa) come in my Father's name (YaHUaH) but you DO NOT RECEIVE me! He comes in his own name (jesus,yeshua,yasiwashi,allah,christ,buddha,nimrodntammuz,etc.) and YOU ARE QUICK TO RECEIVE HIM!" Quick! Halal lu Yah means Praise be to Yahuah not any other world made name. Yahusha is the only name given to us for deliverance. Not a translation bc even Google agrees that NAMES NEVER TRANSLATE! Transliteration is different. The letter j is only 500 years old so even a child could do the math and place that name as recently added! We recognize that Jesus is a name the world designed and put into scriptures where it should not be...THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION is THE FALSE IDOL THAT IS JESUS. Not Yahusha who DIED FOR US. Jesus is sitting in Yahusha's set apart place where it shouldn't be! We are to sing praises, thank, worship, and pray to YAHUSHA'S name only! Not a newly created device the scribes and pharahsee's put into scripture removing the key to salvation, playing gate keeper. We were told! We were warned. It is written! Search up "profane my **-holy-** name" and apply this truth Yahusha brought forth to you and you will see THAT WE HAVE PROFANED AND FORGOTTEN His name for our own names. There is nothing new under the sun! Generational curses "Because your father's fathers have forgotten my name and have called me by names of ba'al(lord=ba'al)." Book of Galatians cries out for us to see that we have been cat fished. We have fallen into the snare and the whole world has been led astray save for His remnant. Not the church. Not Circe the great whore!Test this matter, study and show yourselves approved! The road is narrow AND VERY VERY FEW find it. The road that SEEMS right to man is broad but leads to death! That broad road can hold billions but not the narrow road. Halal lu Yahuah forever! Baruk Yahuah!*
Exactly this. This is why I don't enjoy going to church or listening to sermons. I don't feel like most people on the pulpit have truly studied the texts they are speaking on. I don't know how many speakers I've heard IRL have even gone to seminary or gotten formal education, but it feels very low. This is why I'd rather listen to scholars and theologians online. I'm interested in the text, not what some guy on the stage was thinking about the past week after reading some passages, or worse, trying to find passages that relate to whatever random topic they wanted to talk about that week.
Brother! You're the only one ☝🏼 that "explains" hermeneutics in a way that a child can understand. This is the best explanation ever! Thx so much man! Btw, have u written any books 📚 on hermeneutics? I'm looking for a good book on the topic. However, not just any book on the topic; a book that can easily be understood.
I have been studying scripture in depth and have just learned about hermeneutics, which has been exceptionally helpful in understanding the Bible better. I wish this was a more widely talked about and practiced discipline among Christians.
As I'm unlearning dispensational preaching and teaching that is prevalent and today's Evangelical churches I've had to unlearn the things that I was taught over the years. Pastor Ken matey who you can find on youtube, I've learned through his preaching and teaching the importance of hermeneutics and biblical interpretation. If I would have learned this early on in my walk from the age of 12, I'm now 53, I would not have been easily tricked and beguiled by the infiltration of Satan and the enemy from within the church and the pews and pulpits of the false or mislead preachers and teachers. Most people are spiritual lazy and have not obeyed the King to be like the bereans. Standing upon Luke 9:62 KJV, this is a public thank you to the King of Kings and the Lord of lords, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that I serve. I'm glad that he has been patient with me, as I continue to press in, and learn and grow as I work out my salvation. Thank you brother for your explanation of hermeneutics. Brother Luigi
"Christmas is coming" is a declarative sentence so anybody can come away with different meanings from this text, but what about some phrases like 2+2=4 ??
This was really helpful. One suggestion I would have is to see if you can come up with a better example letter. In this one, it seems to me that the intended message that Christmas is coming, was communicated to both readers, they just had different feelings about it and reacted different. Both still got the message. (I know this is a 3 year old video so I’m not expecting an update.) I’m going to spend some time to see if I can come up with an example of a statement that the letter could have on it where homophones are used and two totally different messages are interpreted but both are reasonable. Perhaps an example along the lines of somebody today writing a letter to a friend that said “Whatever you do, be careful not to let the cat out of the bag.” A reader today would interpret that to mean not to expose certain information that’s being kept secret. However hypothetically 2,000 years from now, such an idiom might be outdated and when somebody reads the same letter they might take it at face value and determine that the two people were kidnapping kittens or something. Just a thought, especially if you’re still teaching these awesome lessons. Great video!
That is a lot better! Another one I think of is, 'don't drop the soap.' People 2k years from now would think we were really worried about dropping washing utensils. But for us today, we instantly think of prison and other nefarious things...
@@EthanRenoe lol that one is awesome. Yeah after watching this video I felt like the Holy Spirit was like “dig into this a bit” and I started looking up idioms and figured out a whole bunch of them. I could say “I’m down for the count” and one person might take that to mean that I’m out of commission while someone else back then would have thought I had traveled down from the mountains to participate in the census. If they said back then “cut him some slack” they would have meant to take it easy on someone, but a person today could read that and start cutting a pair of jeans to make jean shorts. 🤣.
Ethan, thank you for this! Outstanding video. Would you consider a part B explaining the four different hermeneutic approaches (Idealist, Preterist, Historicist, Futurist)?
I think you may have conflated meaning and significance a bit. Christmas is coming soon is the intended meaning, and that was clear from the grammar, syntax. It held a different significance to the different readers, but the meaning was the same. See E.D. Hirsch.
It happens when you read Hermann Hesse. It feels pretty cool and you get this cool sense that you are drawn into something magical and you are wondering what is happening here... what kind of wizardry is this? Well, it's Hermanneutics. Now you know. It IS magic. It was taught in Hogwarts until it wasn't. But it will be in the sequel game, I promise.
I know this was a year ago but.... stumbled on this as my dissertation supervisor recommended hermenuetic phenomenology as an approach for my dissertation and I was just... "eh?" But this video helps so much. My study is looking at a particular group of patients and how they experience changes to work/training opportunities and adaptations within the limits of their disabilities. So essentially asking people what it actually means to them and how they experience day to day living with these conditions. Almost like in depth, subjective case studies to give a voice to those who are very seldomly heard. Hope that helps anyone looking.
I don't know if you're familiar with it, but heterodox economics took an, "Interpretive turn" in 1990 when some heterodox economists began applying Hermeneutics as their main method for studying economics in a sort of quasi-historicist fashion. What are your thoughts on this, if you have any?
So this would mean that nothing in the Bible applies to us because all that is written was written to and for certain people in that time. This would mean that even Christ's words aren't to be taken as applicable given the "context"
Kind of! Obviously the Bible doesn't address "How to best use your iPhone or social media," for example, but it definitely gives us frameworks for how to think about attention, desires, peace, relationships which will help us more wisely think about those other issues it doesn't address. We just need to be thorough and accurate in constructing that framework! And of course many of the issues remain: Power, politics, money, sex, marriage, poverty, etc. Some things never change! :)
I would say they may or may not be directly applicable to us but it is important to get the true original, purpose and intent of the passage and then consider what is the the same and what has changed from the original context to the context we are living in today which even then it can be different for different people living in different circumstances. And Then for application you have to faithfully bridge the contextual gap.
Soooo, that’s all great and fantastic, however!! Do we need historical, cultural and more context prior to understanding? And then, most importantly, it should conclude by telling me about the loving character of God…. I should think so!!
For a nutshell exceptionally clear and extremely helpful.
this was great and it allowed me to understand where exegesis fits into it also. That whole proces is hermeutics but the breaking down of that letter to get what the writer meant would be exegesis.
FANTASTIC explanation! Step by step to help understand . . . THANKS, Ethan!
Yes, great basic explanation. The artwork was most helpful. And you may interpret my use of "artwork" in, at least, two ways!
I've been reading a lot about hermeneutic phenomenology and not understood a single description until I found you. Thank you for clarifying this concept for me. God bless you, from Tucson, Arizona🌵
Beautifully explained, thank you🌹 sir. May Lord the give you much more spiritual knowledge and use you for glory of God. Amen.
Now I unedrstand why religious arguments are not a good idea :) . Thank you . Simple and straight forward explanation
Brilliant Brother, clearest simplest explanation I've ever heard
Thank you to share with us this interesting interpretation of hermeneutics. I’ll keep this in mind. God bless
Thanks for the explanation, well done.Your one collar sticking out drew my OCD attention way more than it should've!
This was VERY helpful. I'm a Lit & Writing major and we're looking at hermeneutics and sometimes we just need things simplified to get it! Oh, also, you're totally adorable. :)
Thanks 4 posting! Had to look this up when learning about this applied to social environment.
This was a fantastic explanation!

Absolutely! I think I meant to imply that. When we read the Bible for example, we must think of ourselves as, like 482nd readers haha
I believe that’s called Eisegesis.
Thank you for your comprehensive video, reverend.
awesome...so so hard to find truly VERY surface intros to complicated stuff... thanx!

Thanks for the brief and clear interpretation but it would be better if you add less sound effects, a bit distracting.
Wow, I will have an exam tommorow and I cant understood what is was. And now I know. Thanks! pretty easy, just how I like.

Is this a good place to ask what the words "blasphēmia", "blasphēmēsē", "blasphēmēsanti", and "blasphēmos" mean?

Thanks Sukyung! What exactly do you mean about the hermeneutics for recent academic research?

Great explanation! Thank you for this video! Do you know of any hermeneutics online courses for the average Christian?
Been wondering the same thing. Our Daily Bread offers one. I’m in the current process of trying to discover other options that may be free.
So, basically, read for an ear for whoever was meant to read the text originally?
You make it sound so simple! haha
thank you sir
So basically "Who ,what, where , why, how.
Hello sir, could you please tell me what are the methods and perspectives of Biblical Hermaneutics?
