Galatians 3:28 and the Analogy of Faith

December 14, 2020 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - analogy of faith, Hermeneutics, women in ministry
One rule of interpretation is called the analogy of faith (read about it here, or listen about it here). Put simply, the analogy of faith means that, since Scripture is self-consistent, you should interpret Scripture in light of other Scripture. And wherever there is an unclear verse, you should look for a clear verse to

The Role of Prayer in Bible Study

September 18, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Beth Moore, Bible study, Elyse Fitzpatrick, Exegesis, Hermeneutics, illumination, Kay Arthur
When I was in seminary, only one professor that I can recall ever said that we should pray and ask God to help us understand the passage we were studying. His name was Zane Hodges. Zane pointed us to verses like Luke 24:32, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us

The Meaning of All in the New Testament

July 4, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Hermeneutics, Matthew 2:3, Meaning of all in the New Testament, Romans 3:23
A friend asked this insightful question: You mentioned recently on a podcast that the word all does not always mean all in the New Testament. That seems to fit your texts ok, but does that not dilute the value of some of the assurance statements where it says He forgives “all sin,” etc.? How would

An Evangelical Postmodern Understanding of the Bible

June 25, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Bibliology, Brian Zahnd, Christology, Hermeneutics, Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God
A friend asked me what I thought about pastor Brian Zahnd and his book Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God. I had not heard of him or the book. So I got the book and I was disturbed by what I read. Zahnd thinks that the Bible is filled with contradictions and pagan

Upside Down Exegesis

August 8, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Exegesis, Hermeneutics, Matthew 8:12; Luke 8:13; Luke 15:7; James 2:17
Interpreters Sometimes Negate What Was Actually Said In the past year or so I’ve run across four examples where interpreters negate what the text actually says. I think you will find these examples instructive. First, in the first parable of Luke 15, the Parable of the Lost Sheep, the Lord speaks in the conclusion of

Future Salvation in the Book of Hebrews

October 4, 2016 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Hebrews, Hermeneutics, Ken Yates
Recently, I was doing some studying in the book of Hebrews. The book has always interested me because it is often used by people to say that a believer can lose his eternal salvation. Others say the book focuses on the fact if you are “really” saved you would never commit really bad sins. The
