What role will exegesis and therapeutics play in your study and Gospel communication?.
You have consulted the scriptures regarding a proper handling of the Word. You have examined
the example of those who have done poorly at biblical interpretation and application, with their
attendant results. You have also examined the ministry of one who did it well, along with the
results they left behind. Now is the time for you to write your own manifesto of biblical
interpretation and application; in short, to write a philosophy of your approach to the scriptures.
