What is Hermeneutics?

Hermeneutics is the interpretation of biblical texts. Biblical hermeneutics help modern day readers know how to properly interpret scripture.  Biblical hermeneutics is all about finding the correct interpretation of the inspired text. The purpose of biblical hermeneutics is to protect us from misapplying Scripture or allowing bias to color our understanding of truth. I believe it is essential to study hermeneutics as a believer in Christ. 2 Timothy 2:15 says “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”
