PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN that conflicts with the Roman Catholic Doctrinal system. Their view of the "analogy of faith" is to compare a particular interpretation with Church Dogma. The Roman Catholic "Guide to Interpretation" is that interpretation: • must be solely about faith and morals. • is not bound by national or scientific matters. • must bear witness to Catholic tradition. • must have a unanimous witness by the Church Fathers. • is to be explained by unwritten tradition when the passage is obscure. • follows the "Principle of Development" meaning the doctrines of the New Testament were 'seeds' and not complete units in them-selves. • also follows the "Principle of Implication" which is called "Epigenesis" meaning that doctrines grow, develop and change. PARABLES, ALLEGORY AND TYPOLOGY Parable Allegory Type A story which is true to reality and teaches a moral or spiritual lesson. A story in which people or things have hidden or symbolic meaning. A real parable, the details of which are woven by God into the facts of history. However the boundaries of these three are not clearly definined in the biblical interpretation leading lot of varying interpretations. 93
PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN PARABLES Parable, n. [O.Fr. parabole, from Latin parabola, from Gk. parabole from paraballein,to throw beside, to compare; para, beside, and balleinto throw.] para =alongside (as in parallel) + bole (throw), which gives "to throw alongside." It is a simple story with one spiritual parallel concealed in it. The sory and the truth are being laid side-by-side. 1. a short, simple story from which a moral lesson may be drawn; it usually fall short of an allegory. 2. an obscure or enigmatic saying. The procedure for interpreting is a. Determine whether or not the passage is indeed a parable; b. A parable is a comparison between the natural and the spiritual realm; c. Every parable is designed to conceal and reveal one fundamental spiritual truth; d. Since parables are drawn from the cultural background of their authors, the interpreter should research the manners, customs, and material culture involved in the parable he is interpreting. 94
