Hermeneutics is field of study of interpretation. In the Christian context hermeneutics tends to refer to interpreting and understanding the Bible.
Hermeneutics involves establishing the principles for our understanding any part of the Bible, and then interpreting it so its message is made clear to the reader or listener. It inevitably involves exegesis, which is the process of examining the actual biblical text as it came from the hand of its writer to discover how he communicated God's truth.
The goal in applying the principles of hermeneutics is to "rightly handle the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15) striving to accurately discern the meaning of the text.
