2 Essential Tips for Accurate Bible Interpretation

Dr. James Renihan, president of IRBS (International Reformed Baptist Seminary) and professor of historical theology, explains two principles of Bible interpretation which are critical to a right reading of Scripture.

Often times, Mormons will say that our reading of Scripture is "just your interpretation." How can we know which interpretation is correct? Christians must apply certain interpretive principles to rightly understand what God has revealed. In this video, Dr. Renihan provides two historic guardrails for Bible interpretation: the analogy of Scripture, and the analogy of faith.

God has spoken in His Word, and Scripture is "profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." If Scripture can do these things—then we really are able to rightly interpret the Bible. Understanding principles like these will help protect Christians from misinterpreting the Bible.
