A.
Historical Analysis (5:24)
To understand historical analysis, we need to review some broad
perspectives:
?
Literary analysis ¡ª a literary portrait designed to influence readers
in particular ways.
?
Historical analysis ¡ª a window to history, exploring historical
events lying behind the Bible.
?
Thematic analysis ¡ª a mirror that reflects our interest and
questions.
Systematic theology builds primarily on thematic analysis.
Biblical theology approaches the Scriptures primarily with historical
analysis.
