Study Hermeneutics with Heritage at Hope Oakville

Biblical hermeneutics, as the theory and practice of interpretation, is concerned with understanding the meaning of the biblical text, as well as its significance for people today. This course is designed to develop some of the philosophical and practical skills needed for the complexities of biblical hermeneutics. We will examine various models of interpretation in order to explore their value and limitations. We will also spend a significant amount of time and effort exploring the various genres of Scripture, and the interpretative principles that accompany each of them.

In this course we cover foundational issues of biblical hermeneutics (the art and science of interpretation), and its intent is to develop competency in biblical interpretation for both the personal and public use of the Scriptures.
