"The Importance of Understanding Genre in Biblical Interpretation"
Talk show from May 7, 2019
People often take Scripture out of context, picking a verse here or a passage there, but failing to take into account the various factors that weigh into uncovering the author's original meaning. While a full explanation of context is too broad a subject to cover in one episode of our short podcast, Ben Lander and Ken Coughlan talk about one contextual factor: the literary genre of a biblical text, and discuss how misunderstanding the importance of genre can lead to an incorrect interpretation of God's word.
