Keep up the good work. Hermeneutics is very needed everywhere. When I was a young Christian I had so many questions from reading the Bible. The more I read, the more questions I had. Eventually after asking pastors and church leaders for help, I realized that not one I asked could help me. So I quit reading the Bible because of so many unanswered questions and and an increasing frustration. After going to seminary I was determined that every person I met with and every church I pastored would study hermeneutics. I am retired now, but I still teach hermeneutics in the church and with each man I meet with. It is amazing what happens to the people when they realize there are answers and they have tools to help them. Evangelism increases and the teaching becomes better. The people expect more of themselves and study more.
The tanakh and gospels made a lot more sense after I earned my doctorate and had studied other holy scriptures. In academia, you learn exegesis and how to formulate a cogent thesis, and you learn when there simply isn't enough textual support for a given thesis. You also learn the difference between Scripture and dogma. The biggest lie people believe is that you can be an expert on holy scripture having only ever studied one book. I had great teachers and great mentors, who saved me from falling victim to a limiting ideology.
@@LiRoss-w7o No I don't. There are some books I would recommend. How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth: Fourth Edition by Gordon D.

Narratives must be interpreted as stories. For example many stories are repeated in the Old and New Testaments. The exodus is referenced in the Old and New Testaments. All of scripture was read out loud. The part that is missing in reading is an active voice and all that goes with the voice. When someone reads the Bible flat they are reading in a way that it was never intended to be read. Scripture is active, but someone can read it as though it were dead. Think about how someone would have heard the Bible read in a society that could not read and write. Notice in Hebrews 11 how many stories are referenced. Some years ago a man and I were talking and he asked me how many stories I thought people in the church could tell. I told him "three" and he said "two." The average American knows some doctrine but they can tell almost no stories. For example tell yourself the story of Jonah and see how much of the story you can tell. People in oral societies have an oral Bible they have memorized. People like that have a part of their brain that is far more developed than reading societies. Those who deal with younger people know they do not read as much and listen to videos, podcasts, etc. To be able to reach them we must reach them in ways that communicate with them. A lot of how we talk is in stories. However we do what is most convenient.
Who is, Dale Knight? I realize your mention is an allusion to a portion of something Paul wrote to Timothy, but I am uncertain as to whom you intend to address by it. Therefore I ask what I ask.
8:45 is the key issue. The only legitimate meaning is what the speaker or author intended. It isn't so easy. Real listening and speaking is hard work. “ I know you think you understand what you thought I said but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant” ― Alan Greenspan

Pay attention to grammar. 1 timothy 1.15 "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief." Paul did not say I WAS but I AM (Present tense.) There is a big difference. Most commentators "interpret" Paul as speaking of his pre-Christian life. (Past tense.)
My issue with this is that nowhere else does Paul talk about anything but his victory over sin through the indwelling Holy Spirit. It’s difficult to see how, if he is was, at the time of that writing, “the chief of sinners“ he could also exhort believers to “follow me as I follow Christ“. Paul saw himself as an example of how to live victoriously over sin by The spirit of God. We have to allow the possibility that Paul was using the present tense for rhetorical emphasis here. Another option is that, since Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles, he was indeed ‘the chief of sinners”. OK that last one was a joke. :)
In order to obtain a copyright from a derivative work it must change about 10%. This means about 78,000 word changes from the KJV which does not have a copyright.

Traditional Jewish interpretation principles include: P'Shat (i.e. the plain, exegesis derived, meaning of the text) Remez (a hint from the text, not directly conveyed by the P'Shat) Drash (a type of eisegesis, an allegorical or homiletical approach) Sod ("secrets") Obviously, the methods apart form P'Shat (plain exegesis) can be problematic and/or abused due to their subjectivity. Interestingly enough, many of the Tanakh (OT) quotations in the New Testament are not P'Shat, but rather applications of the other techniques. For example, Matthew's application of Hosea 11.1 in Matthew 2:15 is clearly "Remez," because obviously Hosea wasn't originally referring directly to Yeshua (Jesus), but it does hint at the deeper truth that in some sense Yeshua is identified as Israel.
I'm in a school for supernatural ministry. But I still don't know how to do exegesis, hermenuetics. I'm looking for someone to take me through an easy way to explain. Step by step.
Been reading in the Book Of Philippians today. In the first chapter Paul prays that the Macedonians will have the knowledge and discernment of “superior things.” In trying to determine the content or meaning of these “superior things”, this video reminded me of the dangers of isogesis. Thanks Darryl.
Gonna just come out and say it. Why do you always recommend Masters Seminary books over other works? I'd have posited a much better foundation is laid by Grant Osbourne's The Hermeneutical Spiral than anything compiled by Abner Chou.
Chou’s builds on Osborne’s work with D A Carson. The Hermeneutical Spiral has lots of good points but it is not addressing the same subject matter. Chou is specifically addressing how hermeneutics works throughout the biblical text. Spiral is an introduction to hermeneutics. Also I’d recommend Virklers work over Spiral. It is more accessible. Virkler predates Master’s too. Besides that, what is wrong with works written by Master’s faculty? Thanks for your provocative comment! 👍
At 3:23, you refer to doing exegesis on what “Jesus wrote,” but apparently you meant to say “Jesus said,” because the New Testament doesn’t mention Jesus personally writing anything except on the ground in John 8:6. (And some liberal critics claim that He didn’t even write that, given that they question the authenticity of that Bible passage - a passage that I believe is both authentic and inspired). In any event, Jesus SAID many teachings that His apostles WROTE afterward. (Actually, I just noticed that this is my second time posting this observation in the past year. I still stand by my prior observation that Jesus is the co-author of the book of Revelation, according to its opening verses, but Jesus let the apostle John do the actual writing as Jesus dictated some passages and created visionary images.)
Friendly correction: You refer to New Testament writers doing exegesis on what "Jesus wrote," but I assume you meant exegesis on what "Jesus said." Although Jesus Christ inspired New Testament writers, and is the main subject of their writings, He is not documented as personally writing anything besides some words in the dust during the trial of the adulteress in John 8:6. Additionally, the book of Revelation credits the post-ascension Jesus as a co-author, calling the book "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him" (Revelation 1:1), but the book goes on to reveal that the apostle John did all the actual writing, while Jesus inspired John's visions and occasionally dictated short passages like Revelation 21:5-8. Beyond those examples, Jesus didn't *directly* write anything. Instead, "holy men of God spoke [and wrote] as they were moved by the Holy Spirit." 2 Peter 1:21; see 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Enjoying your videos! Keep up the good work!😀
I've found that exegesis interpretation in the N.T. for individual believers is based on what salvation view they ascribe to. For example, a catholic with interpret scripture much different than a protestant. Catholics have a salvation foundation based on works where protestants base their interpretation of basic salvation teaching of faith alone. All interpretation for both of these religious bodies is done in order to line up with their foundational teachings regarding salvation Pentecostals base their biblical interpretation on the foundation of faith and obedience to Acts 2:38 the first sermon preached on salvation. First and foremost though, being able to rightly interpret the Word is based on having the indwelling Holy Spirit who is the teacher that helps us understand correctly the Word. " The anointing that you recieved of him abides within you and you need no man to teach you" ( 1John 2:27) Unfortunately neither catholic or protestant believers have the indwelling Holy Spirit thus they are building their exegesis on a false foundation.
RN,....Yes, correct. Neither the catholics nor the protestants have the Holy Spirit guiding them. I am curious as to who you think does have the Holy Spirit guiding them?
@@tonybasoni8443 Thanks for the reply. First of all I have know believers who have recieved the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in " tongues" who have returned to their protestant denominations hopefully to spread the truth. I think ultimately their pastors will tell them to quit telling others about it. Then it would come down to them either leaving the church or keeping it to themselves. The majority of those that do actually have the Holy Spirit would be pentecostals, particularly apostolic pentecostals. I know there would have been no way before I recieved the Holy Spirit I could have understood the scriptures without some man telling me their meaning and trusting my salvation on whether or not they knew what they were talking about.
@@robertnieten7259 ,....Thank you as well for your reply. However, you are very much mistaken here. The Pentecostals of any kind have nothing whatsoever to do with God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit, nor the Christianity of the Bible. They have another gospel and another christianity.
