Description
Before parishioners can profitably deal with and understand the Scriptures in real depth, they must have some acquaintance with basic principles for interpreting those writings. Dr. James W. Voelz recently completed a manuscript, entitled “Principles of Biblical Interpretation for Everyone,” that is designed to do just that. Not simply a reworking or a simplifying of What Does This Mean?: Principles of Biblical Interpretation for the Post-Modern World (a seminary-level hermeneutics textbook), this is a completely new effort, written from the ground up, designed to entice laypeople to delve into the riches the Scriptures and to begin to interpret them “for all they are worth.” In this session, Voelz will describe the scope of this project and the unique set-up of the book, and together with the participants, will take a detailed look at one of the chapters.
