Hermen Who? - Part 1

Hermeneutics: 'The Art and Science of Interpreting Scripture'

Part 1: Presuppositions - What does this have to do with interpreting scripture?

Here should be a fun exersice to help illustrate the point. I’ll tell you a story then ask you a couple of question, all you have to do is come up with the correct answer. If you already know the answer don’t give it away.

Once upon a time...

A man left home jogging.

He jogged a little ways and turned left. He jogged a little ways and turned left. He jogged a little ways, turned left and jogged back home.

As he was jogging home, he noticed two masked men waiting for him at home.

1. Who were the masked men?
2. Why did he leave home jogging?


Read it as many times as you need, though not as many brownie points if you need to. I’ll post the answers next week.
