S2E11: Hermeneutics: A Better Approach to Reading Scripture

from Theologically Fashioned · host Monica Ritchie

In this episode, we dive into the key differences between apologetics and hermeneutics, exploring which approach leads to deeper and more faithful reading of Scripture. We unpack why hermeneutics - focused on interpretation and context, ultimately is a superior methos to apologetics, which often centers on defending the faith and starts with external debates that risks imposing modern concerns on the text. Whether you're new to biblical studies or looking to deepen your interpretive tools, this episode will help you see Scripture not just as a set of answers, but as a rich, living conversation between God and His people.    Resources:  How to Read The Bible For All It's Worth  How to Read The Bible In Changing Times Scripture As Communication  Introduction to Hermeneutics

Something is rippling through humanity at this moment. It's a stirring... a longing... a remembering. A sense that we are more capable than we’ve been led to believe. We want to feel alive, not sedated.. but we've lost our way. We've traded a life intertwined with nature for asphalt and artificial lights. We've swapped natural movement for a sedentary existence. We've given up food from the earth in favor of food from the factory. We've sacrificed our traditional skillsets for apps and gadgets. But while our overdose on modernity may have made us sick, there is an antidote. Join best-selling author and mentor, Jill Winger, each week as she digs into a different facet of the old-fashioned on purpose lifestyle.
