Our doctrine of Scripture is extremely important and drives the discussion of practically all other topics.  Since we hold Scripture to be our principium cognoscendi externum it is our rule by which we are to judge and interpret all other truth.  There are, however, many issues surrounding the role of Scripture and our understanding of it particularly as they relate to life in the church.  The panel discusses issues such as dogmatism and multi-perspectivalism as they debate and engage these issues.

This episode is brought to you in part by the Confessional Presbyterian. (more…)

The Christ the Center panel, ably augmented by Dr. Carl R. Trueman of Westminster Theological Seminary, interacts with Dr. Greg K. Beale, the Kenneth T. Wessner Professor of New Testament and coordinator of the MA program in Biblical Exegesis, at Wheaton College Graduate School in Wheaton, IL, about his recent book The Erosion of Inerrancy in Evangelicalism. In addition to this book, Dr. Beale has written the New International Greek Testament Commentary on Revelation, The Right Doctrine from the Wrong Texts?, The Temple and the Church’s Mission, We Become What We Worship, and several other books and articles.  Dr. Beale discusses the significance of Biblical inerrancy, its Scriptural basis, and the problems with jettisoning the doctrine.  In addition to a proper concern for inerrancy, Beale explains how scholars can rightly approach the use of Ancient Near Eastern and 2^nd Temple Jewish literature without undermining the authority and perspicuity of Scripture.  Along the way the panel considers the influence of postmodernism on Biblical studies.  All in all, this is a very interesting discussion that hopefully will lead to further interaction.
