Supernatural in Character -- Natural in Character.
Jewish Interpreters and Church Fathers -- Contemporary "Spiritualizers" -- Is There More Than One Meaning?.
The Rationalists -- The Existentialists -- The Cultural Relativists.
Context of the Author -- Truth of Scripture -- Scripture Must Be Interpreted As True In All Its Parts -- The Unity of All Its Parts Must Be Sought -- The Authority of the Bible -- The Purpose of Divine Revelation -- The Goal of Biblical Study -- Extent of Authority -- Limitations on the Other Principles of Interpretation Implied by the Principle of Authority -- Prerequisites for Interpreting Scripture -- Regeneration -- Faith and Obedience -- Prayer -- Humility.
Since the Bible was written by human beings, it must be treated as any other human communication in determining the meaning intended by the author.
Implication of this principle: Seeking the Natural Meaning.
Since Scripture is God-breathed and true in all its parts, the unity of its teaching must be sought and its supernatural elements recognized and understood.
Since Scripture is God-breathed, it is absolute in its authority for doctrine and life.
