Hermeneutics: Historical Narrative

In the third session of our Hermeneutics course, we begin covering Biblical genres. This session deals with interpretive principles for the genre of Historical Narrative. Christianity is not just a religion that is theoretical--it is tied to historical events. Salvation is revealed to us in an overarching historical story, tied to real events. We'll look at these topics: 1) What is a Biblical philosophy of history; 2) Why is historical narrative different from other genres; 3) The critical truth that Christianity is tied to historical events; 4) Interpretive principles for this genre.
