Historical-grammatical method
The Historical-Grammatical Method is a way of studying texts, especially old or religious writings, by understanding their original language, context, and historical background. It involves analyzing the grammar, word meanings, and the cultural setting at the time the text was written. The goal is to accurately interpret the original message as its creators intended, rather than just translating literally or using modern ideas. This approach helps ensure a deeper, more faithful understanding of the text’s meaning within its historical and cultural context.
