Hermeneutics: Course Text Principles and Processes of Biblical Interpretation.

For Louisiana Baptist Theological Seminary's BI 500 HERMENEUTICS

Text: Henry A. Virkler on Hermeneutics Principles and Processes of Biblical Interpretation

Henry Virkler, assistant professor of psychology at the Psychological Studies Institute in Atlanta.

Backboned in Walter C. Kaiser’s Toward an Exegetical Theology

Clear, attractive organization of procedures, both historical, grammatical, theological, and pastoral.

Issues Covered:

inspiration of the Bible (pp. 31-45),

the question of meaning and sensus plenior (pp. 22-27),

continuity and discontinuity in redemptive history (dispensationalism and covenant theology, pp. 117-156),

interpretation of prophecy and types (pp. 183-209).

Virkler argues vigorously for inerrancy, … not so much for copies of copies
