ST204: Systematic Theology — Reading Scripture as Christian Scripture

This episode outlines a robust framework for reading Scripture as a unified, Christ-centered narrative rather than a fragmented collection of ancient writings. By moving beyond basic exegesis into a canonical and redemptive-historical hermeneutic, the text instructs ministry leaders to interpret the Old Testament through the Rule of Faith and the lens of Jesus Christ’s fulfillment. The source carefully balances the grammatical-historical literal sense with a typological approach that identifies how historical events foreshadow the gospel, thereby avoiding the pitfalls of moralistic preaching or functional Marcionism. Ultimately, the material serves to equip students with the theological tools necessary to maintain the organic unity of the Bible in both academic study and pastoral practice.This podcast was created with the assistance of AI tools.
