Hermeneutics is the science and art of biblical interpretation. The purpose is to ascertain what God has said in the Scriptures- to determine the meaning of the Word of God. Exegesis is the careful, systematic study of the Scripture to discover the original, intended meaning of the author to his hearers. There are five areas to consider when doing your exegetical work- 1-. Biblical Introduction 2-. Cultural Context 3-. Historical Context 4-. Literary Context, and 5-. Geography. This sermon looks at many passages to give you hands-on experience in how to do your exegetical work when studying the Word of God. 55 min. MercySeat.net
