How to read a love letter
Introduction
The 3 Step Hermeneutical
Method
Observe, Interpret, Apply
The 3 Step Hermeneutical Method
“Method is ‘methodicalness.’ That is, it
involves taking certain steps in a certain order
to guarantee a certain result. Not just any
steps; not just any order; not just any result.”
— Howard Hendricks

Observation
“What do I see?”
Why don’t we get more out of
God’sWord?
1. We don't know what to read.
2. We don't know what to look
for.
What are we looking for?
• Terms - a term is a key word that is crucial to what an
author has to say because it unlocks meaning.
What are we looking for?
• Structure - the basic building blocks of a text.
• Grammatical structure: what is the subject? The
object? The main verb?
• Literary structure:
• Questions and answers
• Cause and effect
• Climax and resolution.
What are we looking for?
• Literary form - the genre of the literature in
question. Each genre must be interpreted according
to its proper rules.
• Atmosphere - picking up the feelings from the
biblical text.
Interpretation
“What does it mean?”
Interpretation
• Questions - “If you want to understand a biblical text, you’ve got to
bombard it with questions.”
• Answers - Answers to your questions are found in the
text. Observation gives you the data to construct the meaning of the
passage.
• Integration - Putting the answers together into a meaningful
whole. In integration, you reconstruct the meaning of a passage
after you’ve taken it apart to inspect the details.
Application
“What shall I do?”
Application
• How does it work for me? The interpreter must first apply the text
to his or her own life before applying it to the lives of others.
• How does it work for others? The bible has implications for
others. How does this passage apply to your family? Your
friends? Your bible study group? Your coworkers?
Application
•As you develop points of application, be sure to
record them in sentences that are:
•Complete and grammatically correct.
•Written in the present tense.
•Application oriented.
Practice
Hebrews 11

Editor's Notes

  1. We ask the question, “What do I see?”
  2. We ask the question, “What does it mean?”
  3. We ask the question, “What shall I do?”
  4. The more time that you spend observing a text, the less time you will spend in interpreting the text and the more accurate your interpretation will be.
  5. “I keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who.” — Rudyard Kipling
