Understanding and interpreting the Bible is an important issue for any Christian as well as a theologian who knows a lot about the Bible. But why are there so many different interpretations of the same Bible verse? Is there any standard of interpretation that all Christians can refer to? What is the basis for judging which interpretations are correct and which interpretations are wrong?
This book, which establishes a firm foundation for correct interpretation of the Bible and comprehensively deals with the philosophical and technical issues involved in Bible interpretation, answers the above questions while keeping in mind the easygoing approach of the modern church to the interpretation of the Bible. . In addition, it contains not only the theory of interpretation of the history of interpretation, but also the practical and application examples of interpretation, which will be the basis for establishing Christological hermeneutics on top of objective and scientific biblical hermeneutics.
