Biblical Hermeneutics Exam 1 Who produced the first complete translation of the Bible into English, and what is this Bible called? - ✔✔John Wycliffe, The Wycliffe Bible Briefly describe the "formal approach" to translation. What are the advantages and disadvantages? - ✔✔ This approach tries to stay as close as possible to the structure and words of the source language. Translators using this approach feel a keen responsibility to reproduce the forms of the original Greek and Hebrew whenever possible. Formal translations run the risk of sacrificing meaning for the sake of maintaining form. Briefly describe the "functional approach" to tra nslation. What are the advantages and disadvantages? - ✔✔ This approach tries to express the meaning of the original text in today's language. Here the translator feels a responsibility to reproduce the meaning of the original text in English so that the ef fect on today's reader is equivalent to the effect on the ancient reader. When it moves too far away from the form of the source language, the functional approach runs the risk of distorting the true meaning of the text. List the five steps of the "Interp retive Journey" and give a brief description of each. - ✔✔ Step 1: Grasping the Text in Their Town - Trying to figure out what the text meant to the biblical audience. Step 2: Measuring the Width of the River to cross - Learning the differences in the mean ing of biblical times and times today. Step 3: Crossing the Principlizing Bridge - Looking for the theological principle(s) that are reflected in the meaning of the text identified in step 1. Step 4: Consult the Biblical Map - Reflecting back and forth b etween the text and teachings of the rest of Scripture. Step 5: Grasping the Text in Our Town - Applying the theological principle to the specific situation of individual Christians in the church today. List three "implications of biblical inspiration." - ✔✔ 1. The Bible gives us insight into the mind of God. 2. The Bible is infallible. 3. The Bible presents a generally consistent and harmonious message. 4. The Bible is intended to advance God's purposes for the world. 5. The Bible has authority for faith and practice. 6. The Bible is permanently and universally relevant. "What are the differences between the biblical audience and us?" In a couple of sentences, mention some of these differences. - ✔✔ Culture Language Situation Time Often covenant. List three guidelines for formulating theological principles from a biblical text. - ✔✔ The principle should be reflected in the text. The principle should be timeless and not tied to a specific situation. The principle shoul d not be culturally bound. The principle should correspond to the teaching of the rest of Scripture. The principle should be relevant to both the biblical and the contemporary audience. What is the most important principle of biblical interpretation? - ✔✔ Context determines meaning. What is a primary danger associated with topical preaching? - ✔✔ Topical preaching, by contrast, often jumps from one passage to another by stringing together a series of originally unrelated thoughts. Quoting Bible passages o ut of context may make for an entertaining sermon, but it will mask God's true message. Misreading the Bible ultimately hurts people by enslaving them rather than setting them free with truth. Repetition of words - ✔✔ Look for words and phrases that repeat . Contrasts - ✔✔ Look for ideas, individuals, and/ or items that are contrasted with each other. Look for differences.
