Methods of Interpretation
When Shall These Things Be?Steve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses methods of interpretation of Scripture, specifically the principles of hermeneutics and how they are applied to specific passages in the Bible. He notes that dispensationalism is one way of interpreting Scripture, and dispensationalists believe in a consistent literal interpretation of prophecy, while amillennialists tend to spiritualize prophecy. However, Gregg argues that even dispensationalists switch to a non-literal interpretation of prophecy in certain passages, and that there is not always a clear distinction between the hermeneutics of dispensationalists and non-millennialists.
