Offer a definition of the terms "presuppositions/foundational beliefs" and "pre-understandings." How can we test these things to see if they are adequate or appropriate? What can be done to change pre-understandings? List some of the presuppositions or pre-understandings from your own life that may inform your reading of Scripture. From what sources do these things originate? How does a person's intellectual and spiritual history (i.e., education and religious instruction) influence the interpretation of texts? In what way then is objectivity possible in the interpretation of Scripture?
