How do we approach the study of the Bible?
-Hermeneutics
-Wrong approaches:
--A treasure chest
--Moral maxims
--Proof tests
I. The History of Redemption and Revelation
1. Against the background of Creation and Fall
2. Progressive -- Note: a theologically liberal use of this term
3. A structure of promise and fulfillment. Gen. 3:15, Gen. 12,15,17
4. History is explained, reviewed and applied
5. That story is organic and epochal
Organic: see to plant
Epochal: seasons of development
II. The unity of that history and revelation
1. II Timothy 1:9,10
2. Luke 24:25-27; 44-48
