Bible-Based Hermeneutics-2nd Edition: Philosophy and Methodology for Interpreting the Bible

by MR J Richard Fugate and J. Richard Fugate

This Bible-Based Hermeneutics-2nd Edition textbook provides a fundamental orientation to the science of hermeneutics as applied to the interpretation of Scripture. It suggests the need for a more advanced, word-intensive approach (philosophy) in the study of God's Word than has been utilized over the past 250 years. To accomplish this advanced approach, it establishes an advanced procedure (methodology) for determining specific (or technical) word meanings as defined by the Word itself. Bible-Based Hermeneutics is a literal-logical-historical-grammatical hermeneutic that requires and insists upon total scriptural substantiation for both its approach and its methodology. The dominant emphases presented in the text are: 1.The Spiritual nature of God's Word (revelation, inspiration, and illumination) and 2.The fact that God intended His word to be fully comprehended by spiritually alive, spiritually empowered, members of the Body of Christ who are technically-competent in the original languages of Scripture. This textbook was developed by the Foundation for Biblical Research (FBR) whose leadership and academic contributors accept the following assertions as being true: -God is the only true author/originator of all Scripture; thereby providing a unified, unbroken, and consistent message throughout all 66 books (Genesis through Revelation). -The Grammar (morphology, syntax, and linguistic structure) of each book was inspired by God the Holy Spirit working supernaturally through the human writers to produce a precise meaning for every word and passage in Scripture. -Any hypotheses or conclusions in Bible interpretation that have been attained by human systems of reason or fields of human wisdom (such as theology/religion/philosophy linguistics or rationalization) must be subject to scriptural verification as the final test for biblical truth. The 1st edition of Bible-Based Hermeneutics was published as a spiral-bound notebook in 2007. Soon afterward, it was accepted as a Logos product that could be integrated with any of their software programs. Now, this recently published 2nd edition is available for purchase as a perfect-bound textbook and Kindle version from Amazon.com.
