First off I must say (surpirsing that I don't have any disagreements with you Raj) that I think the three mechanisms for interpreting the scriptures (hurmneutics) are right on. It took me some time to think about the first one, but I think there is something to be learned by doing this. With this in mind we ought to attempt to read the Bible in chronological order. I have a "Chronological Bible" ... this will assist us in not jumping ahead and using "previous" texts that are still future (i.e. the book of Job is considered the ealiest writing though obviously the story of Genesis occurs first) or failure to use "future" readings that are current with the present passage (i.e. harmonizing Kings Chronicles and the Prophets). Just a thought.
