Invitation,
introduction and approach: as Christian Scripture for Today’s Church
Close, careful
reading with attention to the big picture and to today
As Christian
Scripture
Grammatico-historical
criticism – just like any other book?
The original
intention of the human author for his readers but also God’s Word for us today (and
for the church in all ages)
Prayerful!
The role of the
Holy Spirit – inspiration, illumination
Canonical
Progressive
revelation
Perhaps the human
writers spoke better than they knew – a fuller sense? – The benefit of
hindsight!
Focus on the final
form of the text not hypothetical reconstructions of its origins
Theological – TIS –
The Theological Interpretation of Scripture
Christological
Prophetic
Openness to
typology – i.e. patterns, pictures etc.
With the church
(global, living and dead)
For the church (and
obviously for the world!)
Practical,
devotional – faith seeking understanding, and obedience
