God willing us into existence. The limits of our understanding. Listening before responding. Whenever you read a text, you are interpreting, so we should learn how to do it correctly.

Beginning of our study of the Gospel of John. Thematic study vs. a commentary. How we go about dividing the text. Looking for logical markers. Thesis statements – the purpose or end of the text.

Voluntary human acts are always have an end in mind. Stating your presuppositions up front. Authentic interpretation of Scripture. Actively and intentionally reading a text to break open the meaning. Praying before, during and after study.
