The Golden Rule of Interpretation

Sitting in the office getting ready for Noonday Bible Study preparing for Chapter Three of Hebrews, I ran across a gem in my study. As in most things, it is amazing what we find when we aren't looking for anything specific and just commune with God.

John Wycliffe developed a Golden rule of Intrepretation. Although this was creacated way back in the 1300's, it still makes a god application in 2011. Listen and Read this Golden Rule:



It shall greatly help thee to understand Scripture if thou mark not only what is spoken or written, but of whom and to whom, with what words, at what time, where, and to what intent, under what circumstances, considering what goeth before and what followeth.


Class will be fun today
