A weekly reflection on the Sunday readings drawn from the Revised Common Lectionary. Discussion here focuses on biblical-theological themes, intertextual connections, and theological meaning that is prompted by a given set of readings.
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Kevin J. Vanhoozer about his recent work in biblical hermeneutics. In our conversation, we discuss Mere Christian Hermeneutics: Transfiguring What It Means to Read the Bible Theologically (Zondervan). Topics include: What does it mean to be biblical? What is the literal sense? Can biblical interpretation change the world?
Vanhoozer is Research Professor of Systematic Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. His other books that we mention in this discussion are Is There Meaning in this Text, Dictionary for Theological Interpretation, and Biblical Authority after Babel.
