Reflection of This Weeks Reading Assignment
In this week’s reading assignment in “Using New Testament Greek in Ministry” written by David Alan Black, I learned the importance of researching the scriptures in the New Testament. There are three questions that Black suggested that should be asked anytime that a study is done of the New Testament and those questions; according to him are: 1. Do I know where my text fits biblically?, 2. Am I really certain about what the text is saying?, and last but not least, 3. Could anyone benefit by what I have to say about the text? All three questions; in my opinion, are warranted when researching the scriptures. Black wrote that exegesis begins with an accurate knowledge of the biblical setting of the text.
