Subforum: Bibliography & Hermeneutics Statement of Purpose
The Bibliography & Hermeneutics sub-forum is for the study of the Bible and Scriptures through interpretation and translation. In this sub-forum, you may practice Hermeneutics. Hermeneutics is the interpretation of various types of literature in the Bible, and addressing scripture in it's normal meaning, interpreting scripture historically, grammatically and contextually. The purpose of Hermeneutics is to prevent us from improperly applying scripture to a particular situation. Classification of text includes History, Poetry, Prophecy and Epistles.
With the nature of Hermeneutics, there is need for references to assist in the study of scripture, using references that help to provide information for interpretation such as historical information, translation of the original versions, etc. In your discussions, you may reference your bibliography as you work on the interpretation of scriptures.
This forum is for the focus of interpretation of scripture, using books to supplement the interpretation as you understand scripture. You may start discussions on the specific texts and tools to use for Hermeneutics provided the post is to seek input on the helpfulness of these tools if you are looking to expand your resources for study or related to the helpfulness of those tools.
All the Christian Scriptures forum guidelines and site wide rules apply to this sub-forum.
