 "question": "Define and explain the importance of isagogics, categories, and exegesis.",
 "answer": "These are the three approaches hermeneutics requires. Isagogics is the historical — studying the cultural and historical background, since all Scripture was written for every believer but not to every believer. Categories is the doctrinal — gathering everything the Bible says on a subject (and reading it dispensationally), because balance requires all the passages, not one. Exegesis is the grammatical — leading out of a passage what is actually there, studying the exact words and how they fit together. Together they keep our interpretation accurate.",
