Episode Summary/For Further Exploration

John’s 4 Rules for Biblical Interpretation:

1. How does what you’re reading apply to the Life of Jesus or the Life of the Author?
2. Read the passage in different translations. Is it typically only used in one specific translation?
3. What did it mean to the original hearers?
4. Interpret the Bible with The Bible. Go to other parts of the Bible and see if the subject text is consistent with the character of God found elsewhere.

Additional Context

On bringing "presuppositions" to our reading of Scripture:

“Whether one likes it or not, every reader is at the same time an interpreter. That is, most of us assume as we read that we also understand what we read. We also tend to think that our understanding is the same thing as the Holy Spirit’s or human author’s intent. However, we invariably bring to the text all that we are, with all of our experiences, culture, and prior understandings of words and ideas. Sometimes what we bring to the text, unintentionally to be sure, leads us astray, or else causes us to read all kinds of foreign ideas into the text.”
