The "Fathers" and the Hermeneutics of Schism (The Strangeness of Scripture II)  

16 hours ago by Andrew

The early Christian writers sometimes referrred to as the "Fathers" of the Church do not envisage an understanding of scripture implied by modern Protestant talk of “clarity” or “sufficiency”. Neither, however, do they imply the need for a sort of external ecclesiastical authority as the arbiter of ...

Answering the 95 Theses Against Dispensationalism (4)  

1 day ago by pmhenebury

10. Contrary to the dispensationalists’ commitment to compartmentalizing each of the self-contained, distinct dispensations, the Bible presents an organic unfolding of history as the Bible traces out the flow of redemptive history, so that the New Testament speaks of “the covenants [plural] of the [ ...

I'm reproducing some comments I posted over at Beggars All: steve said... Paul Hoffer said... “Thus, the argument between Messrs. Bellisario and Fan about whether the proof texts at John 6 or 1 Cor. 11 are to be understood as reality vs. metaphor is wrong-headed from the start. Catholic doctrine req ...

Book Review: The Blue Parakeet  

3 days ago by Adrienne

In keeping with my general theme on this blog, I am not a Bible expert. Or a seminary graduate. But I do think that anyone who wants to can learn how to read the Bible the way God wants us to. Given that assurance, and my huge background in hermeneutics (I read How to Read the Bible for All Its Wort ...

Answering the 95 Theses Against Dispensationalism (3)  

3 days ago by pmhenebury

7. Despite the dispensationalists’ general orthodoxy, the historic ecumenical creeds of the Christian Church affirm eschatological events that are contrary to fundamental tenets of premillennialism, such as: (1) only one return of Christ, rather than dispensationalism’s two returns, separating the “ ...

A leadership paradox: decisiveness  

3 days ago by benjamin sternke

For example, in A Failure of Nerve, Edwin Friedman says that many leaders today are stuck in a morass of data, thinking that if they just know enough information they'll be able to lead well.

Sola Scriptura is Something You Do  

3 days ago by Jonathan

The Bible is both the authoritative version of the drama of redemption and the authoritative script for the church’s ongoing life. As a collection of authoritative stage directions for performing the Christian way of life in the truth, the script calls not only for responsive reading but for respons ...

Ontical/Ontological  

3 days ago by triple347

I am reading some Martin Heidegger right now, and it is always difficult to wade through his distinction between ontical and ontological existence. It seems to me that ontical is the particular, concrete analysis of Dasein, whereas the status of something considered in the abstract is thus ontologic ...

A Hermeneutical Mongrel  

4 days ago by Jonathan

Treier says of the canonical-linguistic approach, “it is more text- than author-centered” (115). I don’t think there is a dichotomy there. I am not willing to drive a wedge between the ‘text’ and the ‘author’s intention.’ And at the same time I want to criticize biblical criticism. I really like Van ...
