This document provides guidance on properly interpreting and understanding Scripture through three "dials": 1. Coming with humility and allowing Scripture to shape us rather than our own preconceptions. 2. Understanding the historical and literary context of the time as well as the author's intended meaning. 3. Studying theology, particularly the character of God as described in the Bible - including attributes such as love, wrath, mercy, etc. - and ensuring our understanding aligns with the God portrayed in Scripture.
