(hermeneutics, textual analysis) Pertaining to, using or based on the textual analysis technique of seeking to establish the meanings of words at the time the text was written.

In biblical exegesis, the historico-grammatical approach tries to avoid extremes: that of dismissing the use of figurative language in the text on the one hand, versus dismissing the possibility of the miraculous and the supernatural on the other; that of ignoring what the original authors intended, versus ignoring relevance for modern readers; that of forcing the text into a preconceived theology, versus interpreting in isolation from the larger story of the gospel.
