Bible Arching

I can remember signing up for hermeneutics at Toccoa Falls College.  It was a fairly large class (incomparison to other Toccoa classes) and I can remember thinking that much of my future, as far as I could see, would depend on how well I learned what was being taught in hermeneutics.  Hermeneutics is a term used to describe the process of understanding and applying the Bible.  We were taught how to examine and critique a biblical text.  It has proved to be very helpful.  However, I wish there was another class offered in addition to the very valuable hermeneutics.  I wish we had a class on Bible Arching.  Bible Arching seems to be most helpful in exegeting a passsage of God's word, because is causes you to look at each proposition or statement made by the author, and understand how it relates to the whole without allowing you to pass over particular phrases or statements.  It also helps to keep you from reading your own interpritation into a particular verse.  You are forced to wrestle with each statement as it relates to the rest of the passage.  Bible arching is certianly not easy to do, like anything new it takes time and practice to do it well.  However, it seems to be one of those things that when done over the course of a lifetime can provide great dividends.  To get more information and training go to the Bible Arching web page.  There they  provide all the training necessary to begin understanding God's word in a deeper more meaningful way.
