A Holistic Hermeneutic
A Holistic Hermeneutic Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. Psalm 119:18 Finding Christ in the scripture is a deep, deep blessing; it reminds us over and over again of the totality of who He is and what He has done. Seeing Christ, by faith, in His word is…
