15. The Work of an Evangelist
Preaching & Teaching
Topical
Exegesis
Critical interpretation of a text
Examining scripture within context
Context vs. proof-texting
Historical
Exegesis – I have to look this up; study scripture in context: context of what is written, context of the people who it was written to
For example Timothy: the 2nd letter. Overall context: To a young timid preacher; Genesis: to the wandering children of Israel… etc.
Importance of context in our studies vs proof-texting
Some take great exception to historical studies: first there is a use for these in the kingdom. need for us to realize the people, their nature, their background.
