Definition of Bible Hermeneutics - "Biblical hermeneutics is the science of knowing how to properly interpret, understand, and apply the Bible".
Webster’s dictionary defines hermeneutics as, “The science of interpretation, or of finding the meaning of an author’s words and phrases, and of explaining it to others.”
Hermeneutics is both a science and an art. It is a science because it is concerned with principles within an ordered system. It is meant to derive and classify the principles necessary for the proper interpretation of
Scripture. It is also an art because it is concerned with applying the principles derived. The application of these principles cannot be mechanical, but must involve the skill of the interpreter.
