Principles of Interpretation: The Basics

Professor Greg Beale's course Principles of Interpretation taught at Wheaton College (before he left for Westminster East) has been one of the most enjoyable and helpful I've taken. I say this, among other reasons, because I've found his general approach to Scripture to be reverent, prudent, salutary, and devotional. Here's the basic approach urged by Professor Beale in three summary points:

1. The context is always king.
2. Let your concordance run away with your Bible.
3. Let Scripture interpret Scripture.
