Can the church fathers help us interpret the Bible?
What obstacles do we have to overcome when interpreting the Bible? What do the fathers say about our disposition as interpreters when approaching the text? In what sense do the fathers read the Old Testament Christologically?
In this new Credo Video, Craig Carter explains how the church fathers inform our hermeneutic. Listen to Carter as he uses Augustine to demonstrate the type of depth the fathers bring to the text. Watch other videos like this one on the Credo Video page.
