%0 Journal Article %T Historical Resources of Biblical Interpretation in Christianity %A Ahmet KAVLAK %J - %D 2019 %X Hermeneutics is originally religious as well as being a philosophical concept. Although it is related to the problem of interpretation and meaning in philosophy, its usage has in fact developed in Christian theology. Since Christianity was a new religion which attributed divinity to its founder, Jesus, and claimed to be the successor of Judaism, it was necessary to explain and interpret the contradictions that emerged. For this reason, hermeneutics has mostly appeared in the Christian theology. Christianity accepts its founder as a deity, he is seen as more important than the Bible itself. A few centuries after the bible has emerged, it attained the name ¡®holy book¡¯. This term has been discarded by the Church after Augustine. In addition to these, Jesus was claimed to be sent to the Jews, yet Christianity was also oriented toward pagans. All in all, the need to solve these problems has created such a great tradition of interpretation. All philosophical or theological studies on Christianity have to take historical sources of the religion¡¯s problems into account. This is also a necessity for an accurate interpretation.
