Redefining the term "method of interpretation"

In the most prevalent definition of the term "method of interpretation", the source of interpretation and in other definitions, concepts such as principles, rules and interpretive tendencies have been stressed. Such definitions need to be redefined due to the inconsistency of the method, failure to justify the expression of these definitions, confusion of concepts, limitation of the general concept of the interpretation method to specific and narrow concept and ignoring the systematic form of methods. Informed by the definition of each concept, the interpretation method embraces all of them systematically. That is, each interpretation method originates from principles recognized by the exegete, and based on the rules that protect the exegete from errors, utilizes reliable sources to provide a methodical interpretation. In the interpretation process, the exegete’s tendency and expertise in his interpretation of the verses with emphasis on a set of principles or rules, are highlighted over other principles or rules, constituting his interpretive tendency. Each of these components, having a bearing on the method of interpretation, are coordinated as components of a structure.
