In Christian theology, hermeneutics focuses specifically on constructing and discovering the appropriate rules for interpreting the Scriptures. The goal in applying the principles of hermeneutics is to "rightly handle the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15), striving to accurately discern the meaning of the text as it was originally written and understood by those who first received it.  In this Biblical Training course, which comprises 7 Modules intended to be completed in 1 week each, Dr. Mark Strauss first takes us through an introduction to biblical hermeneutics.  Next comes the principles and steps that must be taken in proper exegesis of a passage of Scripture, then a comprehensive view of the importance and limitations of word studies.  Finally, we learn how to properly apply what we have learned from the Scripture to our own life situation.
