Hermeneutics is the art of interpretation. Traditional fields such as law and social sciences, along with theology, rely on hermeneutics to make sense of, or interpret the meaning of source material. Biblical hermeneutics, likewise, focus on principles for interpreting Scripture. When it comes to Biblical interpretation, we believe the question isn’t, “What does the text say?” The question is, “Through whose eyes do we read the text?”

The Incarnational Framework is a diagnostic tool designed for those who are called to free leaders from all walks of life to create cities of peace for all people. It is a framework that asks questions, not a curriculum that gives answers. Street Psalms uses it to hold itself accountable to its mission. It’s how we measure our impact. It’s shared by hub directors in our network to help them examine their own approach to freeing leaders. It functions as a rule of life for those who are ordained with Street Psalms, and informs all of our initiatives and programs.
