examples: In biblical exegesis, the historico-grammatical approach tries to avoid extremes: that of dismissing the use of figurative language in the text on the one hand, versus dismissing the possibility of the miraculous and the supernatural on the other; that of ignoring what the original authors intended, versus ignoring relevance for modern readers; that of forcing the text into a preconceived theology, versus interpreting in isolation from the larger story of the gospel.
The biblical text is read typologically through the grid of holiness theology, ignoring historico-grammatical considerations.
In his opening paragraph, Wesley unabashedly declared that it is not his intention to pursue a historico-grammatical interpretation of the text:[…].
He rejects the view that Erasmus is the father of the modern historico-grammatical method of exegesis, and the view that Erasmus passed over the search for the literal sense of Scripture. He proposes an alternative view that the young Erasmus of the Enchiridion Militis Christiani (1503) followed the allegorical and tropological senses more than the older Erasmus who wrote the preface to the Novum Testamentum (1516). In the later work, Erasmus strongly advocates the historico-grammatical approach to the interpretation of Scripture.

pos: adj

Transport for London has ordered 48x4-car and 6x5-car '710s' from Bombardier, with the initial order of 45x4-car units comprising 31x4-car AC-only units for West Anglia services and 14x4-car dual-voltage units for the Gospel Oak to Barking line (GOBLIN) and Watford DC services. However, this has recently been varied, with one of the AC-only units now to be delivered as a dual-voltage set. The nine units later added to the order are all dual-voltage, meaning the total order is now for 30x4-car AC-only units and 18x4-car and 6x5-car dual-voltage units.
gloss: Provided with two separate traction power supplies at different voltages, typically as a changeover point between voltages.

One can love these moments, can cherish their invocation of the American sublime (though Wright's notion of the sublime seems closer to the lurid paintings of Bierstadt than to Whitman), and yet dislike the cracker-barrel philosophizing in which they're embedded.
The elaboration of this Donne-like metaphysical simile leads her to a cautionary conclusion, which has been praised for nearly a century for its profundity cast in the cracker-barrel tone of the “Down East” porch philosopher: "And he whose soul is flat — the sky/Will cave in on him by and by."
“If there is such a thing as a cracker-barrel philosopher left in our century, Mr. Golden has earned the title,” declared the New York Times.
