Hermeneutical Spiral

Exposition is the foundation of theology, but exposition is also helped and informed by theology. This does not place creedal documents above criticism, but it creates an interdependent hermeneutical spiral in which the exposition of Scripture is the foundation for theology and in which theology informs the exposition of Scripture.
