Welcome to The On Preaching Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you to preach faithfully, clearly, and better.

The three laws of real estate are location, location, location. Similarly, the three laws of proper Bible interpretation are context, context, context. A text without a context is a pretext.

Context in biblical interpretation falls into two categories: historical context and literary context. In this episode, H.B. discusses how to read with an eye toward the literary context.

Here are the seven circles of context you should consider...

The Sermon Text
The Literary Genre
The Immediate Context
The Book Section
The Bible Book
The Testament (OT/NT)
The Biblical Message
