PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN I INTRODUCTION BIBLICAL HERMENEUTICS In Greek mythology, Hermes is messenger who brings the word from Zeus (God) to the people. From this we get the word <strong>Hermeneutics</strong> as the science of interpreting holy scripture. An interpreter brought to mortals the message from God. 1
PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN GOD HAS SPOKEN. WHAT DID HE SAY? <strong>Biblical</strong> hermeneutics is the study of the principles of interpretation concerning the books of the Bible. It is part of the broader field of hermeneutics which involves the study of principles for the text and includes all forms of communication: verbal and nonverbal. The words written in a Torah scroll are written without any vowel markings. Thus it can be pronounced and read in different ways depending on the vowels that are assigned by the reader. This means that any word in the Torah has potentially made to mean several things. It is the tradition, the oral transmission that determines the Torah and its meanings. It is this tradition that is giving the validity of hermeneutics. Thus, all the Christian and Jewish translations of the Torah rely on this tradition for their translations. Without this tradition it would be impossible to make a translation of the Torah. Without this tradition it would be impossible to know what God is telling us through His words as recorded in the Torah. Without it the Torah, can be read and made to mean almost anything 2
