3。1 A Brief Introduction to Hermeneutics
The word “Hermeneutics” originates from the Greek word Hermes。 Hermes delivers messages between the Olympia mountain and mortal world in Greek myth。 Because god's language is different from human, the way he sends message is not simply repetition, but the understanding of language, transformation and communication。Only in this way, can he truly realize the will of god。 Therefore, hermeneutics is related to language understanding, transformation, and communication。
The formation and development of hermeneutics has gone through three stages: ancient hermeneutics, classical hermeneutics and modern hermeneutics。
