Bible Question: How about its textual, historical, grammatical and literary criticism? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Caloy! It is refreshing to see someone seek historico-grammatical exegetical material. I believe commentaries are helpful, but they shouldn't be our primary source. Be sure to exert the mental sweat yourself, and come back to the commentary to be sure you haven't strayed too far off base! I am persuaded that that is the kind of study of Scripture that God desires us to do. Of course, one must do this with the abilities and tools at hand. To me, John Gill provides a wonderful source of historical and textual background for any given passage. Besides that, his orthodoxy is will be more sound than the other suggestions you've received. http://www.studylight.org/com/geb/ In Him, Doc |
