Elder Gus Harter continues with the third in a series of studies in apologetics by focusing on the interpretation of scripture. If we believe God inspired and preserved His word, how should we go about our reading and study of the Bible so that we do not misunderstand it? The Bible itself describes this discipline as “rightly dividing the word of truth.” Theologians label it hermeneutics.
Building upon the foundation of divine inspiration and preservation, the student of scripture is bound to approach the Bible differently from any other book, having confidence in its fundamental integrity. The scriptures cannot be broken, but our understanding of their meaning may be imperfect. Elder Harter will present a systematic method of studying scripture, extracting meaning, and reconciling apparent contradictions.
As he has during the prior dialogues, Elder Harter will open the floor for questions after his presentation.
