Why do Christians disagree on how to interpret the Bible? Many Christian leaders across different sects hold varied interpretations of key Biblical practices, leading to notable differences in theology and practice. Do differences in Biblical interpretation betray a pluralism within Christianity or an insufficiency of Scripture as God's method of communication? Dr. Kevin Vanhoozer joins us to discuss historical and modern differences in Biblical reading cultures, what it means to read the Bible "literally," and how to discern Biblical genre. CSLI Senior Fellow Dr. Kevin J. Vanhoozer puts forth the practice of "mere Christian hermeneutics"essential principles for reading the Bible as Scripture everywhere, at all times, and by all Christians. The C.S. Lewis Institute (CSLI) is a nonprofit organization designed to develop disciples who will articulate, defend, share, and live their faith in Christ in personal and public life.
