A note from Kurt Van Gorden concerning the section on copyrighting a two-person, live debate: Each person clearly owns their own “creative work,” which is their portion of the debate. In that sense, the video should be copyrighted by both parties as joint authors or creators. This is no different than two writers co-authoring a book. The debaters should then sign a mutual agreement to allow both parties unfettered rights to publish or display the entire debate so that it maintains the continuity and context of what both debater’s stated.” (Kurt Van Gorden, Jude Missions). Bible students from various denominations often throw the term “context” around without knowing what the term means. In this tutorial, Angel, not only defines the term for us in simple terms. But in addition, he shows viewers how to identify the context, making interpretation easier . But more importantly, he demonstrates how to skillfully use the context to determine the meaning of biblical texts. His two-fold goal is show you how to properly interpret the word of God, using the context as your guide. This, in turn, will equip Christians to defend the gospel from its enemies, both inside and outside of the visible professing church.
