Deuteronomy 6:6-9 Joshua 1:8 Proverbs 23:7
Psalm 1:1-2 Psalm 119:97 Psalm 19
Teaching the BibleThe things we learn well enough to teach are the things we retain. It takes hard work to be able to clearly explain something.
1. As a teacher, my mistakes affect many people (James 3:1). 2. Remain teachable (cf. Acts 18:24-28). 3. Remain humble (James 4:6, 10). 4. Make the text your top priority (2 Timothy 4:2). 5. Know your “why” (James 1:21).

Introduction to Biblical Interpretation
Interpreting the Bible answers the question: What does the Bible mean by what it says?
Six Pitfalls of Interpretation: To come to the true meaning of the text, we must avoid the following. 1.Misreading the text 2. Distorting the text 3. Contradicting the text 4. Subjectivism 5. Relativism 6. Overconfidence
Sources of Interpretation: To interpret the Bible means closing and bridging some gaps. 1. Language gap __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________
2. Cultural gap __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________
3. Geography gaps __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________
4. History gap __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________
Principles of Interpretation: Having bridged the gaps, we must also remember several principles, or rules, of interpretation: 1. The literal principle __________________________________________________________________________________
2. The historical principle __________________________________________________________________________________
3. The grammatical principle __________________________________________________________________________________
4. The synthesis principle __________________________________________________________________________________
