Abstract

Worldview, culture and experience play an important role in the experience of man and provide elements of judgment to interpret the Word of God. The amount of religious confessions in the Christian world are evidence to the number of possible interpretations. Is the human being free of contamination to interpret the Scriptures? Does man approach the Sacred Scriptures without any presupposition? What is the role of culture in Biblical interpretation? The objective of this research study is to identify the general theoretical-social parameters of worldview, culture and personal experience and how these can affect the interpretation of the Scriptures. The methodology used is bibliographic review related to world view, culture and interpretation of the Bible.
