A God-Centered Approach to Language
Dr. Vern Sheridan Poythress returns to Christ the Center to discuss his latest book In the Beginning was the Word: Language: A God-Centered Approach to Language published by Crossway. The panel discusses Dr. Poythress’s multi-perspectival approach to Biblical studies and theology and specifically the trinitarian basis for language and the meaning of language. Contrary to evolutionary theory, language is not merely a humanly constructed reality but is a gift from God. The panel also considers the unique problems about how modernism and postmodernism view language

Thanks for doing this show. I found what Dr. Poythress had to say helpful. That corroborates what others have told me about multi-perspectivalism compared to tri-perspectivalism. I do have concerns about his association with Frame, but he is clearly saying something different than Frame is, and I appreciate the qualifications Dr. Poythress is willing to make. You CAN, in fact, pin him down; and I am comfortable with what I heard him say.
So will you be doing a show on tri-perspectivalism?
I’d like to focus an entire show on multi-perspectivalism at some point. It seems its influence is waning, however. Maybe its just my narrow vantage point.
[...] We were able to talk with Dr. Vern S. Poythress recently about his newly released book In the Beginning Was the Word: Language, a God Centered-Approach. This was an important interview because we had the opportunity to ask Dr. Poythress several questions that are often raised by those who are skeptical of Tri-perspectivalism as a hermenuetical principle. I would consider myself to be one such skeptic. While this is the case, I thoughtDr. Poythress made many interesting and helpful points, and provided very thoughtful and carefully balanced answers to the questions raised. I think you will benefit from listening to the intervie and reading the book. You can listen here. [...]

This looks like a great book. I saw it advertised in Books and Culture. As a faith and family and culture writer, I am always looking for books that examine the fusing of faith and writing from a Christian perspective.
