the Sadducees
the text is an artifact which has independent meaning of what the author intended; problem with this is that the author had to have meant something in order for them to have written it down
the meaning of a text cannot be adequately communicated from one speaker to another; all communication is time and culture bound; this occurs in preaching where the text is not central; embracing a reader-centered hermeneutic destroys meaning; "For if the meaning of a text is not the author's then no interpretation can possibly correspond to the meaning of text, since the text can have no determinate meaning"
the natural way to read any text; the author had meaning when they wrote
meaning is not from the reader, but application is; though meaning never changes, application is constantly being interpreted by the reader to fit their own context; expand the principles
the Bible has no errors, God is speaking to me in His Word, All Scripture is given to me by God, the Scripture is about God's plan of salvation for man, I have a sin nature, God has created all people equal, no one deserves salvation, etc.; they can help but they can also hinder our understanding
it's unavoidable; the Holy Spirit doesn't do the entire work of interpretation for us; the 'obvious' meaning of a text is sometimes hidden behind cultural, historical, or linguistic barriers; we might be cognizant of our interpretive methods in order to strengthen it by conscious awareness; because God has made us keepers of the revelation of God; because application must be carefully balanced with study
the art and science of interpretation; there are particular rules that must be followed if we are to understand Scripture correctly; general pertains to every type of literature, specific focuses on literary styles (genres) of Scripture
1. Preparation (nature of Scripture and personal preparation) 2. Observation and Interpretation (historical and literary context, word study, testing interpretation) 3. Application (principles and problems of applications - most difficult and has the most problems)
"The canon is a collection of authoritative books, not an authoritative collection of books.";

story parable
intellectual meaning is the dictionary definition of a word; emotional meaning is the impact a word has on the listener
they maintain interest; they are easy to remembers (the culture was a memory culture); they activate the imagination; they demand a response (often mental, but also emotional and volitional); they hide the truth
words are arbitrary signs of reference, words change over time, words have a range of meanings, words have both emotional and intellectual content

study of the Canon
1. determine which words are important enough to analyze (when versions differ on their interpretation, when a word is repeated multiple times, when it's a pivotal word in the passage, if you don't understand it or find it interesting to study) 2. find the range of meanings that word can have (we're only looking for the range of possibilities of the original language in their culture; one will have to try to understand the context of each passage in order to understand the exact meaning of the word in that particular passage; etymology) 3. determine which meaning best fits the context (hermeneutical circle, recognize that in only extremely rare cases will you be looking for more than one meaning)
pray; study the context (literary - the flow of the book is quite important, historical); try to find one main truth per character; check the parable against the other synoptic parallel parables; check theological conclusions with other Scripture (they're not designed to teach doctrine); retell the story in modern form

they disagree with them because they don't observe that clear passages interpret obscure passages
it's a gift of God to the believer given at the request of the believer; a daily asking God how to handle life
the main doctrine will be the same, but our interpretations will differ in the minors
some people have different sources of authority; some things are not designed to be entirely known; sometimes it is not actually a difference in interpretation but a difference in what people want the text to say; some people do not observe the interpretive rule (clear passages interpret obscure passages)
1. ask whether your interpretation would be acceptable to the person who received the letter 2. ask whether you have accounted for every aspect of the text 3. ask whether your interpretation aligns with theology as it has been historically interpreted 4. ask whether other Christians in different countries, circumstances, and time periods hold the same opinion
seek to find the fundamental disagreement between your interpretations; seek to truly understand the position of the other interpreter; seek to resolve the issue by reference to the text; recognize that some differences are not going to be settled this side of heaven; love the brother even while you think he is mistaken on a position of doctrine
Heberws, James, 1-2 Peter, 1-3 John, Jude
1. God has left us His word 2. God has provided His word in human language, which confirms that we can indeed understand what it is saying 3. God has provided his Holy Spirit in order that we might know the truth 4. We would expect that our interpretations will differ in the minors
the art and science of interpretation
the foundation of canonicity is inspiration; the Spirit's work of illumination is the formation of canonicity; examination (questions answered); ratification (the church ratified 27 books to be a part of the New Testament)
searching for the meaning of a word by its origins (historical development of a term) or parts (a basic root meaning); based on the fact that humans pass on language and meaning
