The Apostle Paul declared that the forms of this age are already in the process of passing away on account of the death of Jesus and his resurrection. All things have become new; nothing can ever be the same, including the identity of the people of God. Even now, the “age to come,” the “new creation,” has dawned and is making inroads wherever the gospel of the kingdom is proclaimed.
A popular interpretation often begins with a misunderstood text, perhaps a verb tense, then it assumes multiple incarnations as it propagates in popular preaching and daily discussion.
The first principle must be to respect a text as it was first written. The interpretive process must begin with what the original author intended to communicate to meet specific needs in a real historical situation.
I have expertise in textual criticism: the reconstruction, the transmission and the translation of ancient manuscripts. I am a graduate of the Pacific School of Theology of Seattle, Washington, USA.
