Which one of the following is not an interpreter's commitment? a,Recognize the divine nature of scripture .b,to look for a meaning in the text that no one else has ever found.c,allow the bible to speak for it self.d,derive sermons from the message of a text.

Answer 1

The option that is not typically considered an interpreter's commitment is b, to look for a meaning in the text that no one else has ever found.

This approach suggests a focus on novelty or uniqueness rather than on understanding the text in its context, faithful interpretation, and drawing out its intended meaning. Reliable interpretation seeks to understand the text as it was intended by the author, rather than searching for exclusively new or unheard interpretations.
