Basic Forms of Scripture
Two basic forms of literature:A) Referential: precise, fact
oriented language to describe and relay more
technical information, e.g. repair manuals, medical
texts, phone books, blueprints, cookbooks, etc.
B) Commissive:
Literature relating to the heart, appealing to emotions and feelings, e.g.
poetry, songs, pep talks, etc.
In the Bible there is both referential and
commissive literature.
Referential: Epistles, Law, Historical Narratives.
Commissive: Poetry
Both: Proverbs, Prophecy
Rules for interpretation are like rules for a game. If you ignore the rules, you’ll misunderstand
what is being written.
