Question: What are the differences between the biblical audience and us?
Some of the differences to consider will be: time, language, culture, situation and whether in the Old Testament
(covenant) or New Testament (covenant). Look at this stage to find rather than minimize differences.
Remember for some passages, the river will be wider than for others.
This is most difficult step. Find the theological principle or principles in the text. These principles should be
generated from the text and not be brought to the text by us. What is the message of the passage that comes across
the river of time, culture, situation etc?
Hint: The principle will be related to the meaning found in Step 1. In what ways are we the same as the original
audience?
Question: How should individual Christians today apply the theological principle in their lives?
This step is about exploring how the principle(s) we have identified apply to the church and our lives today.
