Round the Sphere Again: Understanding Scripture

Exercise in Exegesis
Covenant or will in Hebrews 9?

What I find so fascinating here is that you have to carefully weigh your different principles of exegesis. What is most important? Concordance? Immediate context? General context? Consensus among commentaries and translations?

Interpreting Historical Narratives
In the Old Testament.

When we read narratives, we can read them like we would read any good book, paying attention to things such as the characters, the setting, the conflict, and the resolution. Hebrew narratives are “scenic” in nature, like scenes in a movie, which drive the story. The narratives don’t contain everything that happened at those times, but they do include what is essential.
