People who read with understanding are using (to some degree) the thing called hermeneutics (that so many Christians seem to hate) whether they have heard of it or not. This science and art is applied to other reading as well. Hermeneutics is simply a list of suggested proven rules to follow in reading for comprehension. There are good hermeneutics and bad hermeneutics. It is "The theory and methodology of interpretation, especially of scriptural text." It is both a science and an art. Perhaps the reason some argue against using it is because they want the Bible to say what THEY want it to say rather than to receive the truth it teaches when properly understood.
Wikipedia:
Biblical hermeneutics: 'methods of interpretation', 'methodology of Biblical interpretation', specifically in the sense of devising 'rules' for 'correct Biblical interpretation'.
Biblical Hermeneutics is:
- A science because it is concerned with principles within an order system.
- An art because it is concerned with applying the principles derived, involving the skill of the interpreter.
