HERMENEUTICS
Exegesis and Interpretation

Hermeneutics is the science and art of interpretation. Science because it is guided by rules and art because interpretation is a skill. Exegesis is the careful systematic study of the scripture to discover the original intended meaning. Interpretation means to observe the text which is written then and there of those biblical times. And to translate for the here and now of these real times. Context determines the meaning.
