How do I rightly interpret scripture?

Interpretation: Luke 24:25-27

  • Five keys to healthy interpretation
    1. Content — know the text thoroughly through observation
    2. Context — know what is happening in the passage
      • Literary context — How does the grammar and language of the text impact the understanding of it?
      • Historical context — How does what is happening historically at the time of the passage impact the understanding of the text?
      • Cultural Context — How does the culture of the time the text is written effect the meaning of words, traditions, actions, etc.?
      • Geographic Context — How does the location impact the understanding of what is taking place in the passage?
      • Theological Context — How does the theological understanding of the author and reader impact the understanding of the text?
    1. Comparison — know how the passage compares to other aspects of Scripture.
    2. Culture
    3. Consultation — after thorough study, make use of secondary resources to further shed light on things that are harder to find or not available in the text.
