Happy Women’s Day: Giving Women the Same Interpretive “Freedom” As Slaves

Happy Women’s Day: Giving Women the Same Interpretive “Freedom” As Slaves

by Luke Geraty | Mar 8, 2017 | Biblical Studies, Hermeneutics, New Testament, Old Testament, Scripture

As I have continued studying issues related to women in ministry, gender, and hermeneutics (biblical interpretation), I have come to the conclusion that the Bible requires that Church does all that she can to both encourage and empower women to actively pursue...
Do You Interpret the Bible Literally?

Do You Interpret the Bible Literally?

by Brad Blocksom | Mar 8, 2016 | Biblical Studies, Hermeneutics, New Testament, Old Testament, Scripture

Do you interpret the Bible literally? Have you ever been asked this question as if it was some kind of test for orthodoxy? No one takes everything in the Bible literally!! Do you believe that the earth is a rectangle (Is. 11:12)? Do you really believe that Jesus wants...

What About Christological Interpretation? (Part 9 of 10 Ways we Must Read the Bible Differently)

by Brad Blocksom | Dec 1, 2014 | Biblical Studies, Hermeneutics, Old Testament, Scripture

#9.  Christological interpretation is an important key. Whereas many Biblicists seem to border on being guilty of Bibliolatry. After almost 10 years in Seminary I took a course from Tremper Longman on Proverbs/Wisdom Literature. After years of having...
Proof-Texting is a Bad Habit that we Need to Break (Part 5 of 10 ways we must read the Bible differently)

Proof-Texting is a Bad Habit that we Need to Break (Part 5 of 10 ways we must read the Bible differently)

#5.  Proof-texting is a bad habit that we need to break ourselves of. Simply citing chapter and verse does not end any theological/biblical argument! I will define proof-texting as the idea that if we can cite a single verse from the Bible which supports the point...

Radical Biblicism is Actually a Bad Thing (Part 4 of 10 ways we must read the Bible differently)

by Brad Blocksom | Oct 21, 2014 | Biblical Studies, Hermeneutics, New Testament, Old Testament, Scripture

#4. Radical Biblicism is actually a bad thing! Before you burn me at the stake as a heretic, let me just make clear what I did not say. I did not say that a great reverence for or a high view of scripture is a bad thing. I did not say that believing the Bible is the...

Reading The Bible as Story (Part 3 of 10 ways we must read the Bible differently)

by Brad Blocksom | Oct 14, 2014 | Biblical Studies, Hermeneutics, New Testament, Old Testament, Scripture

#3  The Bible is story. This includes both individual stories in the varying “books” of the Bible, as well as an underlying story of God’s plan for redemption of creation (a.k.a. redemptive history). To tell the truth, I kinda already talked about this a lot in last...
