For those of you who know my preacher / teacher side, you know that I'm huge on hermeneutics, that is, the art of interpretation. When doing this work, I follow what's known as the historical-grammatical method, which, as the name would indicate, involves seeking to understand what's going on both culturally and historically at the time the text was written and how this impacted what the original audience heard, as well as digging into the grammar to understand the how the author used various words, what the words meant to the original audience, and how the words relate to one another. Obviously doing this involves a whole lot more than just picking up my Bible and reading it. Rather, I need to dig into history, the study of ancient culture, and, depending on the text, either Greek or Hebrew. One of the tools that helps me in this process is Logos Bible Software, and they're just about to release the 4.0 version for Mac. I've been running the beta for about 8 months now and I love it.
