The "Biblicism" of the Reformation (Ep 151)
from The Bible Sojourner · host Peter Goeman
This episode continues the discussion from last time about biblicism. Although last episode discussed methodology and logic of interpretation primarily, this episode discusses biblicism from a standpoint of history and specifically the Reformation. We look at Wyclif, Zwingli, Luther, and Calvin and look at some of the examples of how the Reformers were guilty of the things biblicists are often accused of: (1) departing from “universal” Christian teaching, (2) trying to avoid extra-biblical labels, and (3) focusing on the Greek and Hebrew of specific texts of Scripture.
