Hermeneutics with Dr. Richard Barcellos

Join Dr. Richard Barcellos as he lays down for us foundational principles for biblical interpretation and shows us how to apply this to different passages of Scripture. Dr. Barcellos is pastor of Grace Reformed Baptist Church (www.grbcav.org), Palmdale, CA, and author of several books, including Getting the Garden Right, The Lord’s Supper as a Means of Grace: More than a Memory, Better than the Beginning: Creation in Biblical Perspective, and most recently, Trinity and Creation: A Scriptural and Confessional Account.

"Those of us who view the Bible as the written Word of God...are committed to allow it to speak authoritatively on anything and everything it comments upon. And one the things the Bible comments upon is itself. In other words, texts often pick up on previous texts and further explain their meaning. This happens with words, phrases, verses, passages, persons, events, institutions, places, and concepts. When this occurs, it is the divine use or interpretation of a previous divine revelation. In other words, the Bible sometimes interprets the Bible for us and when it does, the way subsequent revelation interprets and applies antecedent revelation gives us (at least in part) the divinely intended meaning of the antecedent text." - Dr. Richard Barcellos
