More DescriptionHow one interprets the Bible goes a long way toward shaping one's worldview. The Green Tree writers compare interpretive approaches, including the theological, allegorical, spiritualization, canonical dogmatic, Reformed, complementary, redemptive movement, and literal grammatical historical. These hermeneutic comparisons consider historical characteristics and implications of each interpretive method, so that interpreters can make informed decisions about what tools they will use to understand the Bible. Ultimately, The Green Tree underscores how hermeneutics is the root system for a Biblical worldview, and proposes that there is a very particular hermeneutic method prescribed within the pages of the Bible. The Green Tree suggests that Bible interpreters do not need to wonder what methodology to employ, and can exegete confidently knowing they are following the Biblical model for interpretation.
