Two major approaches to Biblical interpretation are found today. On the one hand, the strict constructionist seeks the author's original intent and ferrets out ways those principles apply today. He wants authority for what he does in religion and tries to avoid adding to or taking away from the Word of God. On the other hand, the left-winger loosely construes the text to mean whatever is trendy for the times. He doesn't need explicit or implicit authority for what he does. if Scripture doesn't explicitly condemn an act (for example, in worship) then he thinks it is alright. Thus, there are theological liberals and conservatives. But, what was Jesus in that regard? We will see that Jesus himself was the preeminent fundamentalist or conservative Bible believer. We should imitate his approach to Scripture.
