Köstenberger, Andreas J., and Richard D. Patterson. Invitation to Biblical Interpretation: Exploring the Hermeneutical Triad of History, Literature, and Theology. Invitation to Theological Studies Series. Grand Rapids, MI: Kregel Academic & Professional, 2011. has a very solid hermeneutics plan:
"GUIDELINES FOR BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION: OVERALL METHOD
I. PREPARATION:
Prepare yourself for the interpretive task by recognizing your own presuppositions. Pray for God to open your mind to understand the Scriptures. Approach your task with a proper method for biblical interpretation—the hermeneutical triad.
II. INTERPRETATION:
1. Determine the historical setting of the passage and identify relevant cultural background issues (history).
2. Locate your passage in the larger canonical context of Scripture (literature/canon).
3. Determine your passage’s literary genre and use appropriate interpretive principles for interpreting each given genre (literature/genre).
4. Read carefully and seek to understand an entire passage in its larger discourse context, conducting a full-fledged discourse analysis if possible (literature/language/discourse context).
5. Conduct a semantic field study of any significant terms in a passage (literature/language/word meanings).
6. Identify any figurative language in a passage and interpret figures of speech in keeping with proper principles of interpretation (literature/figurative language).
7. Identify the major theological theme(s) in a passage and determine the passage’s contribution to the understanding of the character and plan of God in dealing with his people (theology).
III. APPLICATION & PROCLAMATION:
Assess the contemporary relevance of a passage and make proper application to your life and to the life of the church today.
