PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN The Principles of <strong>Hermeneutics</strong> was developed as a result of false doctrines being formed by false interpretations "The First Three Centuries Among the earliest Christians, too, the Scriptures were read and explained without the guidance of any acknowledged rules of hermeneutics. We may infer from the sayings of the Fathers that tradition and the analogy of faith were the sovereign laws of the early Christian interpreters. In the second century Melito of Sardis composed a hermeneutic treatise, entitled "The Key", in which he explained the <strong>Biblical</strong> tropes. The Fathers of the third and fourth centuries suggested many rules of interpretation without collecting them into any distinct work. • Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, and Origen proposed and defended against Jews and heretics his rules of exegesis in his work De Principiis IV; 49
PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN • Diodorus of Tarsus (d. before 394) wrote on the difference between type and allegory, but his work "Quomodo differt theoria ab allegoriâ" had been lost; • St. John Chrysostom urges the commentator to study the context, the author, the readers, the intention of the speaker, the occasion, place, time, and manner of writing (Hom. in Jer. x, 33; Hom. xv in Joan.) • St. Jerome, too, has left many hints on the proper method of interpretation ("Ep. ad Pammach."; "De optimo genere interpretandi"; "Lib. quaest. Hebr. in Gen."; "De nominibus et loc. Hebr."; "Praef. in 12 prophet."; "In quat. evang.", etc.). 50
