Verbal plenary divine inspiration requires a commitment to a biblical hermeneutic that postures the reader to hear the voice of the author.
In addition to studying the grammatical, historical, canonical, and theological features of biblical passages, to pursue this posture, faithful Christian interpreters have for 2000 years also sought to . . .
(a) analyze their (personal and cultural) presuppositions and (b) learn from and read the Bible with other Christian interpreters (e.g., the history of Bible commentary and the centrality of preaching for the church).
Rejection of these principles leads to a heterodox hermeneutic, because it would elevate human reasoning over the necessary work of the Spirit in interpretation.
