Venturing deep into the world of biblical interpretation—exploring the methods that shape how we read Scripture, how we understand righteousness, holiness, and obedience, and why John Walton's work continues to spark both admiration and controversy.

We’ll survey key interpretive methodologies: literalist, historical-grammatical, canonical, literary-narrative, historical-critical, and the socio-cultural ancient Near Eastern approach. Then, we dive headfirst into the power of frame semantics—a tool that challenges modern assumptions and re-centers our understanding around ancient biblical worldviews.

Topics covered:

  • What’s the difference between exegesis, interpretation, and hermeneutics?
  • Why biblical theology requires a mix of methods
  • How John Walton’s approach reframes key concepts
  • The covenantal, vocational meaning of obedience
  • Holiness as divine presence, not moral perfection
  • Righteousness as relational fidelity, not legal status
  • How salvation is more about divine rescue than a heavenly transaction

Mentioned Resources:

Whether you're a seminarian, a Sunday school teacher, or just someone who wants to understand the Bible on its own terms, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
