Greek meaning to interpret or make clear.  Hermeneutics is the study, theory, and practice of understanding and interpretation of scripture. It is necessary to correctly integrate scripture into theology, worship, and application of scripture to ethics and discipleship.
The concept and word is based on the Greek mythological messenger god, Hermes, who is said to have translated the message of the gods for humans. To do this, Hermes had to understand both the language and mindset of the gods and humans. Hermeneutics must take into account the author and reader when trying to understand and interpret a message.
