Hermeneutical Systems

Thomas K. Dailey

SPRING 2024 | 3 CREDIT HOURS | RESIDENT & ONLINE

Hermeneutical Systems examines the foundational principles that distinguish dispensational and nondispensational hermeneutics. The identification of these foundational principles enables students: 1) to answer the question of why systems of theological thought diverge from each other hermeneutically,  2) to learn how to conduct a hermeneutical self-critique. The Course is taught from a dispensational perspective.. 

The following are the learning outcomes for this course: a) students will distinguish the strengths and weaknesses found in a side-by-side comparison of differing hermeneutical systems; b) students will identify the foundational hermeneutical principles that separate dispensational from non dispensational systems; and 3) students will review major biblical themes in terms of continuity and discontinuity. 3 credit hours.
