Abstract

Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain (Psalm 127:1). There are many methods used today to interpret the Bible and decide what verses are descriptive and which are prescriptive. Most Christians do not know what hermeneutic they use, and often do not apply any hermeneutic consistently. Further, there are some interpretive methods that are not God-focused and should not be used but are quite common today in the Christian community. The goal of this thesis is: 1. to help individuals understand their biases and predispositions in various areas; 2. to learn the types of hermeneutics that exist; 3. to find out what hermeneutic(s) they use and that they consider are viable; 4. to decide what their view is on the authority of the Bible; 5. to be able to read the various views from both camps of the issue while critiquing each writer's biases and hermeneutics, and to then apply the hermeneutic they have found that they use in order to discover their own view on the issue of women in leadership in the church
