Biblical Interpretation - Lakeside Institute of Theology

Biblical Interpretation (CL1)

Interpretation of Scripture is best done through an understanding and application of the related disciplines of exegesis and hermeneutics – exegesis being the means of accurately determining what the text says; while hermeneutics concerns itself with interpreting what the text means. Our course will use techniques of exegesis and hermeneutics to create an effective and comprehensive approach to analyzing, interpreting and articulating the message of Scripture.
