That light, however, is greatly diminished without a proper understanding of the art and science of biblical interpretation.
Cultists read deviant theologies into Scripture rather than allowing the text to speak for itself.
Tragically, this practice has even affected the Christian church. In light of this growing problem, it would be a good idea to spend some time considering a discipline called hermeneutics. Now, before that formidable word scares you away, let me assure you that hermeneutics is simply a reference to the science and art of biblical interpretation. In mythology, Hermes interpreted the message of the gods for mortals. Thus hermeneutics conveys the concept of accurately interpreting the content of a message.
