Koine Ministries operates with the understanding that Scripture is to be approached from a literal, grammatical, historical viewpoint. As a result of this viewpoint Koine Ministries answers the following questions when studying a passage:
- What does the text say?
- What is the context in which it is written?
- How does this passage harmonize with other Scripture?
There are a number of factors which contribute to failed understanding of Scripture. Koine Ministries looks to avoid the following:
- Bias from desired understandings.
- Preconceived or presupposed understandings.
- Poor scholarship.
