Mere Christian Hermeneutics, with Kevin Vanhoozer
Matt, Derek, and Alastair welcome Kevin Vanhoozer back to the show to discuss his new title on hermeneutics.
Is it literally possible to read the Bible literally? Dr. Kevin Vanhoozer joins Derek, Alastair, and Matt as the penultimate guest of 2024 to talk about frames of reference, transfigural reading, how the New Testament uses the Old Testament, and how to create a culture of reading at your church. You will literally love it!
