How to Study and Interpret Scripture

The art of biblical study and interpretation is a seemingly intimidating task, or at least it should be, as it is necessary and holds incredible implications regarding its rightness or wrongness. Said another way, one who holds the duty of interpretation, especially in teaching, is given a serious job and will be held accountable for what he or she presents to the body of Christ. I contend that the role of teaching is a noble but solemn one and have, therefore, adapted my own process of study and interpretation for anyone seeking to employ a tested-and-tried progression in the art of biblical interpretation. The steps I will examine have been utilized by myself and largely by many others who have endeavored to interpret Scripture. I will highlight an eight-step sequence of events that will confidently aid in one’s study of Scripture. While humanity is fallen and, thus, imperfect, the process offered here will help in ensuring that one who interprets Scripture holds a precise and accurate understanding of Scripture with little room for error.[1]

[1] It should be noted that human understanding always holds the danger of misinterpretation. No teacher is perfect, but in trusting the one who is perfect (the Holy Spirit), he or she may eliminate the proclivity to mistakes. Even so, one who studies Scripture must be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and even the possibility of a shift in hermeneutics as God the Spirit guides him or her in study.
