Ep 258: How to Read and Interpret the New Testament with Max Botner
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode I talk with Dr. Max Botner about his brand-new book How Then Shall We Read? A Students Guide to Interpreting the New Testament, out now on Eerdmans. In this book Botner introduces readers to the fundamentals of New Testament interpretation, discussing the pitfalls of biblicism and fundamentalist, non-contextualized readings of the Bible and showing how we need interpretive methods and hermeneutics. He explains that we need to let the Bible be the Bible, how theology and Biblical studies relate to one another, why history, genre, and translations are important and how they work, and why we must read the Bible both canonically and communally. He then gives advice for readers who are new to the Bible. This conversation is an excellent introduction to Biblical interpretation!
