How does our doctrine of God affect our interpretation of scripture?
What are the differences between classical theism and theistic personalism? Why does the intention of the human author not exhaust what God intends to say through the text? How does divine authorial intent enable a Christological reading of the Old Testament? In what ways did hermeneutics radically change during the period of modernity and why must we return to a classical interpretation of scripture?
In this new Credo Video, Craig Carter explains how our doctrine of God affects our interpretation of scripture. Watch other videos like this one on the Credo Video page.
