The historical-grammatical method distinguishes between the one original meaning and the significance of the text. The significance of the text includes the ensuing use of the text or application. THE ORIGINAL MEANING OF TEXTS COMPARISON WITH OTHER METHODS OF INTERPRETATIONS Proof-text method Reader-response method COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL-CRITICAL METHOD See Also: Historical-critical method The historical-grammatical method has sometimes been compared and contrasted with the historical-critical method. Both methods seek first to understand the original meaning of the text. There are two main differences: # The historical-critical method is a standard set of techniques for understanding ancient texts. The historical-grammatical method is used only in Bible study. # The historical-critical method includes looking at other texts from the same time period to understand the meanings of words and phrases. The historical-grammatical method looks strictly at other biblical uses of the word or phrase. Both of these differences in method stem from historical-grammatical proponents' belief that the Bible is not like other texts, and should not be treated like them. SEE ALSO
