Interpreting the Bible Through the Jesus Hermeneutic
Interpreting the Bible through the Jesus Hermeneutic involves examining the scriptures based on how Jesus approached them. Jesus was selective in his quotations, favoring certain books that aligned with a higher level of consciousness. He opposed imperialistic, ritualistic, exclusionary, and violent texts while affirming those that emphasized love and compassion, acknowledging the prophets. This hermeneutic challenges the idea that every line of the Bible is equally inspired and encourages a critical evaluation of the texts.
