Systematic Theology I: Interpretation of Scripture (Video 10)

This continues the series of videos from a recent ST1 course that I taught remotely for a seminary in S. Asia. We’re continuing to work on the doctrine of Scripture. Here we consider, in particular, how it is that we interpret Scripture.

My approach is from 50,000′ and doesn’t get into the weeds of genre theory or parsing verbs. Really, my major point is that we read Scripture as part of a community. That means that we don’t try to reinvent the theological wheel every time we come to the Bible. Instead, we listen humbly to what the church has said even as we test what it says by measuring it against Scripture.
