Bible Note: Dear EdB, If our presuppositions are not open to analysis by one another, how shall we then come to agreement in our exegesis? As one of your own has pointed out (Dr. Gordon D. Fee) a sound interpretation requires the involvement of the reader as well as the author. He warns of what he calls "selective exegesis." That is, when we "...read one's own, completely foreign, ideas into a text and thereby make God's Word something other than what God really said" (How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth, page 24). He goes on to say, "To avoid making such mistakes one needs to learn to think exegetically, that is, to begin back then and there and to do so with every text." I did not intend to "poopoo" your question. I simply could not begin to answer it without first dealing with the presuppositions. That's how I was taught. It is modeled in the teaching of Christ and the apostles. I do not know of any way to honor our Lord, save in the way in which He has led us in the truth. In Him, Doc |
