What problems exist in interpreting Biblical texts? i.e. above say reading a news article today.
You have things like textual variants, a different language, and produced by people of a different culture.
Other issues? Can anyone point to material on this?

Re: Problems in interpreting Biblical texts?
As if these problems aren't bad enough?
I guess you could add the question of who wrote it and when, something that (at best) needs to be sussed out of the text. Newspaper articles at least usually carry a specific date.
