Hi, larmcdani1... You asked, "What is a stake if an evanglical hermeneutical approach is not perpetuated?" (sic) How about if we ask that question this way: "What will be lost if a sound hermeneutic is not taught?" Well, a short answer is that those without the benefit of a sound hermeneutic will be unable to rightly interpret the Scriptures. They will be exposed to all kinds of self generated error, as well as exposed to the much promulgated error of false teachers. Ignorance, error, misunderstanding -- all of those things naturally result in specious thinking and errant behavior. About seven years ago, I wrote the following list, that may relate to your question. COMMON MISTAKES IN BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION 1. Misquotation 2. Poor translation 3. Eisegesis (forcing an interpretation into a text that isn't there) 4. Failure to compare scripture with scripture 5. Taking a passage out of context 6. Cultural reinterpretation ("That was true for Paul, but not for us today.") 7. Failure to check sources 8. Letting tradition dictate interpretation 9. Failure to appreciate what the church has taught on the passage COMMON (CULT) MISTAKES IN BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION 1. Hooking: Using a text in the Bible to lead to a cultic teaching not found in the text 2. Putting texts together that were not meant to go together 3. Over-squeezing a text to get something out of it that isn't there 4. Over-speculation (especially in prophecy) 5. Changing the definition of words 6. Using a twisted translation 7. Taking extra-biblical revelation as authoritative If you are interested, you can read all of the entries of my discussion on hermeneutics by entering the number 156916 in the top right search box.
