The Science and Art of Biblical Interpretation - Working the Method Part 7: The Old in the New
November 21, 2023 02:00 - 1 hour - 30.4 MBHow the Old Testament is used in the New Testament gives us insight into how those in the first century observed, interpreted, and applied God’s Word. They did this by employing a consistent, literal method of interpretation and not by allegorizing the Scripture. No intended meaning of the Old is ever changed in the New. ★ Support this podcast ★
The Science and Art of Biblical Interpretation - Working the Method Part 6: Prophecy
November 14, 2023 02:00 - 1 hour - 31.6 MBAn often-neglected area of study, a large portion of Scripture is prophecy.

September 12, 2023 01:00 - 1 hour - 37.1 MBHistorically the two competing interpretive systems were the allegorical and literal methods.
