15 The Five C s of Interpretation CONTENT What is there in the passage, raw data Ideally you have done this work in the observation phase, observation and questions Knowing the content well sets you up for really good interpretation The more good work you do in observation, you will see that it really helps you in the next step

16 The Five C s of Interpretation CONTEXT - types Literary Context Immediate context Type of literature, genre (types?) Grammar Horizons Immediate horizon (the road ahead, behind) Book horizon (the foothills) Bible horizon (the mountain peaks) (NT/OT and storyline)

17 The Five C s of Interpretation CONTEXT types Historical-Cultural Context The time and culture of the author and his readers. Who is the author, who is the audience? Social conditions Economic conditions Political

18 The Five C s of Interpretation CONTEXT types Theological Context Where does this passage fit into the unfolding of the plan of God in Scripture? The Bible appears like a symphony orchestra each instrument has been brought willingly, spontaneously, creatively, to play his notes just as the great conductor desired, though none of them could ever hear the music as a whole the point of each part only becomes fully clear when seen in relation to all the rest. J.I. Packer
