Hermeneutics. Why would anyone want to learn that?!?

Biblical Hermeneutics means the science or method of accurately studying and interpreting the Bible. As you know, the Bible was written a long time ago to a totally different culture and in a variety of literary genres. All of these factors impact our ability today to properly understand the Bible--i.e. what it means for us today, and thus, how to properly apply it to our lives.
