00:00What is biblical interpretation?
00:30However, if we seek support from specialists who have written a work to explain one or more biblical books, we will obtain the maximum possible support for our task and our work.
00:50Since they are specialists, they have already studied all these hermeneutical elements and formalized them.
01:03And they have prepared tools for us, elements that facilitate our access to the biblical text.
01:15I always use them. Why? Because I'm not an expert in Holy Scripture.
01:20It's true. I refer to them so often and see her so often that, well, many things are becoming much more familiar to me.
01:29But I want to get to the bottom of it. I need the specialists.
01:35There is a wide variety of resources that are very useful for proper exegesis and understanding of the text.
01:45There are many, aren't there? I'll mention a few, but among these biblical resources we find exegetical notes, biblical commentaries, and lexicons.
01:57These are elements that help us, and there are books that contain them. For example, some books have exegetical notes.
02:06It is the simplest element. Because they are the notes that generally do, yes, they do the exegesis, but they apply it to pastoral care.
02:15And these usually appear in study Bibles. Virtually all of them have them.
02:20We have, for example, the Jerusalem Bible, the Bible of America.
02:26The Bible, God Speaks Today, does have some. I'm not completely convinced by all of them, but they do have some.
02:35The new international version of the latter, we can say, has very important, very complete comments.
02:43So, the problem is that this Bible and these commentaries do not contain the deuterocanonical books.
02:50Although they are made, because the brothers who prepared it, although it contains many Catholics, also participated there,
02:59But it is printed by our separated brethren and they do not have the deuterocanonical books.
03:05However, they are important. I don't know if 10 or 12 Catholic biblical theologians participated in them.
03:15Therefore, these notes are not doctrinal, but biblical, so they help us to go deeper in the study.
03:23Don't hesitate to get this Bible or these exegetical notes, because they will be very useful to you.
03:31Mainly because our course does not cover the Old Testament, where the deuterocanonical books are.
03:38And it has everything from the New Testament.
03:40In fact, I have the idea that there is a book that is solely the exegetical notes of this Bible,
03:50which refers only to the New Testament.
03:53I'm not sure if they all come complete, but even if they were all complete,
03:56Okay, there's one part missing, but what about everything else? It's really good and very useful, isn't it?
04:04Furthermore, the notes should take advantage of the fact that most Bibles include an introduction to the book in question.
04:11usually with more or less information about the author, the time of composition, the purpose of the writing, etc.
04:19You should always read the introductions to books.
04:22Therefore, the more scientific our Bible is, the better the elements we will obviously have.
04:29with much more information.
04:31We'll have an introduction, which, of course, is not comparable to a commentary.
04:36But it gives us a general idea and we can build on it, right?
04:41That is why it is important to have, as we have said before, several Bibles.
04:46Yes, certainly, because this is an investment, but if we want to learn, we have to invest in this too, right?
04:55In other words, we need several Bibles that can help us with their commentaries.
05:00Many are the same, but they gradually increase our knowledge.
05:05Some are more concise, others more extensive, but they all help us in the direction we should orient our texts, our reading.
05:15We have another, even more advanced tool, which is a biblical commentary.
05:21Biblical commentaries help us with the experience of specialists who have sought,
05:27Using many hermeneutical tools, provide an explanation of the text.
05:30They contain commentaries, and each one of them has different elements that come from the exegesis that has been done on different texts.
05:43I would just like to clarify that in these comments, yes, especially right now, at the beginning, when you're starting to study,
05:50If you're going to buy or get a review, make sure it's Catholic, because a note is not the same as a review.
05:59The commentary may already contain some doctrine; it is the theological thought of the person who made that exegesis.
06:08from the person making that comment, from the person trying to explain it.
06:11Their results depend on the method and purpose, as well as the theology that each one uses.
06:19So, if one operates from a Protestant theology, then obviously the commentary will be influenced by these theological elements.
06:28A comment from separated brethren will obviously have different elements than one made by a Catholic.
06:36You will notice that although both contribute to the text, you analyze them from different perspectives.
06:43Therefore, its parts will be more or less different depending on the pericope reviewed and will give us information that may be important.
06:54But, as I was saying, I recommend that right now, at the beginning, we try to focus more on the teachings of the Church and that you find some good ones, very, very good ones.
07:05The problem is that many of them are in other languages, right?
07:11In other words, since people in Mexico don't read much and you know that, well, books are, well, a commodity.
07:19And if they don't sell, well, they don't bring them in.
07:21Most of them are made in Spain.
07:23We don't have many in Mexico.
07:25Especially when we delve deeper, we will find the Spanish.
07:29So, in that sense, we have much more from the United States, we have much more in English because of the proximity and because, given the relationship that also exists with Protestantism, Catholics have also written a little further.
07:46We want the best, so we'll have to find them either in French or Italian.
07:52But even so, a good comment, one that's good for our study, can be more than enough.
08:00Once you have finished all your courses, once faith has been established in the Bible, and once you have more resources, then you can start expanding into other types of commentaries.
08:12But it is important that your exegesis is always accompanied and validated by the Magisterium and the Church.
08:18And that is precisely what a Catholic commentary does.
08:22I would like, therefore, to suggest some of the ones I know.
08:28There are many, but these are Catholic and you can get them.
08:32Some you have to bring from Mexico, others you can find in bookstores where you are.
08:38And, well, others will have to be ordered even from Spain.
08:42One of them that I find excellent is the New Testament and its message.
08:45It's from Editorial Herder, excellent, really great.
08:50Another one, a little more technical, is the Commentary of Saint Jerome.
08:56It is called the New Commentary of St. Jerome.
08:59Okay?
09:00New Commentary of St. Jerome.
09:01Because there's an older version, buy the new one.
09:05It comes in a single volume and it's excellent.
09:07That's the one I started with.
09:10We also have an excellent book called, well, its French name is,
09:18Believers' Bible.
09:21Excellent.
09:22No, well, it's beautiful.
09:26But well, you'll have to know a little bit of French, right?
09:30To have this and be able to understand it.
09:33It's delicious.
09:34It is a commentary that comes, the New Testament, comes, if I am not mistaken, in four volumes.
09:41No?
09:45Others, therefore, are expensive.
09:49They come in other languages.
09:50But well, it will always be a resource when it comes to biblical interpretation.
09:55Okay, so, I recommend you go for the two we have in Spanish.
10:02One of those is enough.
10:05You don't need anything else.
10:06Another very important tool we need is the lexicons, which are also in different languages of the Bible, especially Hebrew and Greek, which are the original languages of the biblical texts.
10:21These, therefore, are very useful in order to be able to do an analysis that is called philological of the word used in each of the contexts.
10:30Let us remember that the original languages of the Bible have a great richness and to rescue it, lexicons are very useful.
10:39Through them we learn how they used these languages in which these books were written.
10:49In these books, in the lexicons, we can find the word in our language, that is, in Spanish, but it is in Greek.
11:00And see its use, its comments in the Old Testament, in the Old Testament, where they are repeated, how they are used.
11:08How they were also used in extra-biblical literature, because they can have a different valency, which gives us a good idea of what the author was trying to tell us in this particular text.
11:28So, they are important. This is going deeper into the philological analyses that we will seek to do at some point.
11:37Certainly, at first, well, all this, as you'll probably say when this class is over, wow, what a crazy thing to do, what have I gotten myself into.
11:46Okay, I insist, calm down, let's take it slowly, we're not going to jump right in like this, let's see, let's do this analysis of the philological and the context.
11:57No, no, we'll keep moving forward. The important thing is that you get to know them, okay?
12:01We have other resources that are also important, because they tell us about the customs, the way of life of the people, and the context of the biblical.
12:12And these allow us to better understand the language and what the author might have been referring to when using such and such an expression, right?
12:22So, what did he mean?
12:29Let me give you an example, okay? To help you understand it a little better, okay?
12:33I mean, imagine if someone told him right now, well, he was crossing over there in Mexico City,
12:40There on Reforma Avenue, and suddenly a crocodile attacked me.
12:46Oh, wow.
12:48Did a crocodile invest in you?
12:49Yeah man, it was a crocodile and no, man, it tore me to pieces.
12:52I tell him, no, well, I certainly believe it.
12:54But how did the crocodile escape from the zoo?
12:56What? The zoo or the zoo?
12:58Well, you don't say that a crocodile invested you.
13:00No, we should know that in another time taxis
13:05They had a series of spikes along their length, and were long carts like that.
13:10and they looked like crocodiles, and they were called crocodiles.
13:14I'm going to have, imagine, they said, I'm going to have a crocodile,
13:17Or, as in this case, I was invested by a crocodile.
13:19It's a commonly used word that we might have seen in a newspaper.
13:25A passerby is attacked by a crocodile during renovations.
13:28Wow! Can you imagine seeing a crocodile?
13:31No, no, no. It was a taxi.
13:33They were even green.
13:35So, if we get into the biblical topic,
13:40We have, for example, ex-betrothals,
13:43who were very important in the study of the text of Matthew,
13:46the one who tells us that before they lived together
13:49That was when the Annunciation came.
13:52So what does this mean?
13:54What were betrothals?
13:56Well, all of this is in these books.
13:59where they tell us about Jewish culture,
14:02where we can get to know each other
14:05and to understand more about each of these biblical elements.
14:11Just like he was telling you, well,
14:13Do a little research on what was happening and who these crocodiles were.
14:17So, these books help us find our bearings better.
14:20in order to understand the meaning,
14:24For example, what we were just saying about the topic of betrothal.
14:27Finally, there are other books called Interlinear Bibles,
14:34where we have the text in Greek or Latin
14:38and below the text in Spanish.
14:41This is also very useful.
14:44And finally, there's something on the internet, well,
14:49countless digitized and indexed books.
14:52This allows people like us,
14:55that we are not advanced in the study of Sacred Scripture,
14:59access to invaluable tools for exegesis.
15:03The one I use, which is one of the best there is,
15:07It's a program called Logos.
15:10You can find it at the link we're showing you right now on the screen.
15:16In other words, you'll be able to find a large number of books here.
15:20Logos, I recommend that you don't do it, I didn't.
15:23I didn't realize this,
15:24Or perhaps when I started it wasn't like that,
15:27or he didn't have the money to do it.
15:29But I would recommend that if you're going to get into Logos,
15:33buy a collection.
15:35It's much cheaper for you.
15:36Now, if what you want is two or three little books,
15:38Well, buy them there.
15:42They are much cheaper,
15:44but they usually come in a package.
15:46There is another one that is very useful,
15:49This one, both this Logos one and the Olip3,
15:53You can have it on all your devices.
15:55You can have it on Mac,
15:57You can have it on PC,
15:59You can have it on iPhone,
16:01And you can have it on Android.
16:03On any platform,
16:05They work, and they work excellently.
16:08For me, another very important one,
16:10which is the one I always carry,
16:11and with whom I always do simple things,
16:13It's Olip3.
16:15In other words, it has a lot of tools
16:18in order to take notes,
16:20leave notes,
16:21different types of notes.
16:23It also has a library
16:24quite extensive collection of e-books.
16:28And well, they're a little more expensive, aren't they?
16:30They have a lot of resources in Spanish,
16:34something that Logos doesn't have.
16:35Logos almost everything is in English.
16:38While Olip3
16:39He has many books in Spanish.
16:42So, there we can find,
16:45For example,
16:46Logos does not have the Bible, God Speaks Today.
16:49which is something that, well,
16:52agrees with the Protestants.
16:55Both,
16:56both organizations,
16:57They are of origin
16:59of our separated brethren.
17:02But,
17:03They have a Bible,
17:04For example,
17:05Olip3,
17:05It has a quantity of resources
17:07impressive,
17:08Catholics too.
17:08Many of the very ancient ones,
17:11I mean,
17:12Comments of Saint Augustine
17:13and of the holy fathers.
17:15And well,
17:15There's the complete collection
17:16of the holy fathers,
17:17in Spanish and in English.
17:19So, well,
17:19There are so many,
17:20a great many resources,
17:22TRUE?
17:22In these,
17:23on these platforms,
17:24in these resources
17:25that the Internet offers us.
17:28And well,
17:29They can make cross elements,
17:33They can analyze a word for you,
17:34They can give it to you,
17:34It depends on how many books
17:35you have bought
17:36and what books you have
17:37within this,
17:38No?
17:39There is a book too
17:40very important,
17:41very good,
17:42which is called
17:43the Anchor Bible Dictionary.
17:46Yeah.
17:47It's a Bible dictionary,
17:48There are other biblical dictionaries,
17:50TRUE?
17:51However,
17:53no one has put
17:53to translate it,
17:54so,
17:55It is only available in English.
17:58We also have,
18:00Well,
18:01I had already spoken to you
18:01from the biblical commentary
18:02in Spanish,
18:03It is a single volume,
18:04TRUE?
18:05We also have
18:07the,
18:09Hey,
18:10several collections,
18:13TRUE?
18:13From the New Testaments,
18:16the New Testament
18:17interlinear,
18:18It is also,
18:19Something is on the internet,
18:21so you see,
18:22well,
18:23different options,
18:25I tell them,
18:27unfortunately,
18:28the vast majority
18:29It's in English,
18:30so,
18:31certainly,
18:32you will be able to move forward
18:33a lot more,
18:33and you're going to go deeper
18:35a lot more,
18:36if you also know
18:37the English language,
18:38but,
18:39but,
18:39There are plenty of resources,
18:41don't,
18:41Oh,
18:42Well, I'm going to have
18:42to learn English,
18:43father,
18:44No,
18:44you won't have
18:45to learn English,
18:46which would be very good
18:46that you learned it,
18:47but,
18:48If you don't know,
18:50There are sufficient resources
18:52in Spanish,
18:53so that we can move forward,
18:55and delve quite deeply,
18:57Because remember, what we want
18:59it is to extract for our life,
19:03nobody,
19:04Nobody will be able to empty it.
19:05This is a sacred book,
19:07I mean,
19:09We have been studying it for two thousand years,
19:13and it always comes out new,
19:14It is truly wonderful,
19:16so,
19:17No,
19:19not us,
19:20this,
19:22Let's not get discouraged by this,
19:23No,
19:23I mean,
19:25There are many elements,
19:27certainly,
19:28we will be able to enter,
19:29easy,
19:30easily,
19:31to Hebrew,
19:32or to Latin,
19:33If we use some of these hermeneutical tools,
19:37so,
19:37but not,
19:38Don't think that without this,
19:39you will not be able to move forward,
19:40and well,
19:42well,
19:42These are,
19:43some suggestions,
19:45that I propose to you,
19:46Regarding biblical resources,
19:48but it doesn't mean,
19:50As I was saying earlier,
19:50that you have them all, acquire them.
19:52Your class will be enough,
19:55We will provide it here,
19:56many elements,
19:57which we will leave for you in the library,
19:59in the end,
19:59where you will be able to continue progressing,
20:01Don't worry,
20:03If you're looking,
20:05Immerse yourself in the word of God,
20:07You certainly have to study,
20:09and this,
20:09although we will try in our course,
20:11to give you all the elements,
20:13and use part of our library,
20:16It will never be enough,
20:17nothing will be enough,
20:19nor all the books that exist,
20:20we will never be able to read them,
20:22nor finish,
20:24It is enough that,
20:25Let's go into our Bible,
20:27that you attend all our classes,
20:30See you later.
20:31in our last class,
20:33To conclude this introduction,
20:35to the New Testament,
20:36until then,
