Od literalizma do interpretatizma: Kako ispravnije biblijski misliti?
From literalism to biblical interpretivism

Summary/Abstract: This short and in many ways only an introductory study refers to the matters of various manners, methods and ways of Bible interpretation and Bible use. We aim to show and exemplify some problematic hermenutical approaches or Bible use in public church service. The following text is divided into three sections. The first part of the text attempts to draw attention to some fundamental principles of Bible interpretation and use - public or personal. In addition, we also want to note posible problems or dillemas if some basic exegetical and hermenutical prinicples are ignored. Second part of this article tackles the issues and problems of Bible translations. In relation to questions how Bible translations may influence Bible as the Word being efficacious and powerful. In the final part of this examination we shall aim to show and exemplify some dubious or questionable approaches to the Bible. Some of these are more representative of some church traditions than others. Also, some of these exegetical and hermenutical methods are more characteristic for some historical period. For instance; times now passed, when exegesis and hermenutics were greatly relying on the studies of individual words in the Bible (word studies); or approaches and interpretations of the Bible which fundamentally depended on detailed and systematic interpretation of history and eschatology (dispensationalism). At other times and circles Bible interpretation was almost completely reduced to the theology of victory (so called prosperity gospel), etc.
