Historically-sensitive Bible reading: A taxonomy with Matthew J Thomas Faith at the Frontiers

    • キリスト教

So many Bible scholars and methods claim to be ‘historical’, but are they all the same? In this episode, Barney and Austin interview Professor Matthew J Thomas, who has come up with a taxonomy of FOUR methods for reading the Bible that are currently prevalent in scholarship:


Simple historical exegesis: interpreting the Bible with attention to its cultural and historical context.
Investigating the history of the Bible’s composition, known as ‘source criticism’, ‘form criticism’, or ‘redaction criticism’.
Critically assessing the truth of the Bible from another philosophical perspective.
Whatever is popular in Germany right now (!)


Tune in to hear Prof. Thomas unpack these four categories and their relevance for our faith today!



Thanks to Jamie Maule for his sound engineering!
