Editor's Notes
- #3 In the observation stage Bible teachers and readers are responsible for understanding what the original author was saying to the original recipients based on setting, context, and structural factors
- #4 In the interpretation stage Bible teachers and readers are responsible to interpret Scripture in the way the original author intended it to be understood.
- #5 In the generalization stage Bible teachers and readers are faced with the challenge of bridging the gap between the world of the Bible and the world of modern living.
- #6 In the application stage Bible teacher and readers are responsible for applying Scripture, based on their careful interpretation, to their lives and the lives of their students. The focus is to recognize and communicate Scripture’s relevance, rather than to make it relevant.
- #7 In the implementation stage Bible teachers and readers are responsible for allowing the truths of Scripture to transform their lives. This step is where lives are changed.
