Framework Hypothesis

The Framework Hypothesis is a view of how the Bible is organized and how it points to Jesus Christ. It suggests that the Bible is structured around a series of "frameworks" or literary patterns, particularly in Genesis, that reveal God's overarching plan of creation and redemption. Instead of seeing Genesis as a literal, chronological account, this hypothesis emphasizes the thematic and literary design, showing how different parts of scripture fit together to illustrate God's purpose for the world and humanity through Christ. It helps interpret the Bible as a unified message rather than a collection of disconnected stories.
