Austin Bible Church
Isagogics is the basic principle of interpretation of the Bible. Ecclesiastical is that which belongs to or is connected with the Church. Here, mainly subjects relating to Church history are presented.
The Bible must be interpreted in the framework of its own historical setting, in the time in which it was written. Isagogics means that a pastor must be able to go back and reconstruct the life and the customs and the times as they relate to the words and usage of the words in the Bible in the original languages. The meaning of a word in the ancient world is determined by its usage.
