How to Interpret the Bible

How to Interpret the Bible

Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, Th.M., Ph.D., is one of the foremost authorities on the nation of Israel and is a messianic Jewish believer. This has made him a popular speaker and teacher at Bible conferences, congregations, and churches throughout the world. He received his B.A. from Cedarville University, his Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary, and his Ph.D. from New York University. His graduate work also includes studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Based in San Antonio, Texas, he is founder and director of Ariel Ministries which is dedicated to evangelism of Jewish people and discipleship of Jewish and Gentile believers from a messianic Jewish frame of reference.

The purpose of this course is to learn how to correctly interpret the Bible. Primarily, the course will cover the rules to apply when interpreting different types of Biblical literature such as historical, poetic, prophetic and epistolary.

The course will include the principles of the literal, historical, grammatical and cultural hermeneutic. It will also cover symbolic language and how that interacts with the literal hermeneutic.

The historical aspect will include the historical backgrounds of biblical events and the grammatical aspect will focus on the meaning of the terms at the time they were written. Recognizing that while the whole Bible is to us but the whole Bible is not for us will clarify what applies to us today and what does not.

By applying the rules of interpretation, this course will also focus on the eight covenants of the Bible which give a knowledge of the Bible as a whole which, in turn, will make the study of the details much easier.
