Lesson 7

The Senses of Scripture

To better understand Scripture, we must consider its literal and spiritual senses.

Lesson Vocabulary

  • Senses of Scripture
    :
    The various meanings of the Scripture text. We must consider the literal sense, which refers to what the human author intended to say, and the spiritual sense, which refers to the truth God wanted to communicate. (136-137)
  • Typology
    :
    The study of how a person or thing in the Old Testament foreshadows or prefigures the fulfillment of God’s plan in the person of Christ. The earlier person or thing is a “type” for person or thing in the New Testament.
