In this episode, we continue to look at how the reader should approach any biblical text with our discussion on parables. There are three main components to biblical reading and interpretation. Observation. Interpretation. And application. The second part of the process is interpretation.

Interpretation asks the question: What does it mean? (William Hendricks)

Interpretation is about inviting others into conversation with you to help you answer the questions you raised during your observation period. It’s very important that you sit with the text long enough before looking to outside sources.
