ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Historical-grammatical method

The historical-grammatical method is a way to study the Bible that looks at what it meant in the past (historical) and then how we can apply it to our lives today (grammatical). It involves researching not just what the words mean, but also their cultural and historical context. This enables us to better understand what the original authors meant when they wrote the Bible, which can help us to figure out what the passages mean in our modern lives.
