I'm looking for some quotes from any authors that point to the value of a proper hermeneutical approach to reduce the prejudice and baggage that we bring to interpreting any document much less the Word of God.
I'm looking for any quotes:
1. That point out that we bring out presuppositional baggage to the Word. It seems that the repeated Scriptural injunctions about our "slowness to hear" are apropos.
2. That enjoin our serious study of the Word because we need to overcome our sinful tendency to be slow of hearing.
3. How a disciplined hermeneutical process assists in coming to the correct meaning of a text.
Any other helpful quotes are appreciated.
Please, if you have it, could you cite the work that you got the quote from?
