What is the meaning of Biblical Exegesis? How is exegesis different from hermeneutics? What is the difference between the bird’s-eye view and the worms-eye view? Why is literal interpretation the best way to approach the study of the biblical text? What does authorial intent mean? How do you analyze a passage historically and grammatically? What dangers are involved in doing a word study?

We covet your prayers as we strive to train the Lord’s church in Italy.
