Hermeneutics- interpreting the bible and how to get the meaning of it the art or theory of interpretation. The love commandment- the command to love god, and our neighbors also includes the commandment to love ourselves, with all out heart, soul, and mind. Chapter one, augustine says what is most important is that you apply the two fold love commandment, approach it with openness and love so your interpretation isn"t negatively influenced. If you misinterpret the text, that can be okay so long as it still broadens your understanding of love.
