5th Gospel Ep. 4 — Interpretive Authority (Part 1): Who Gets to Say What the Bible Means?

September 19
16 mins

Episode Description

If everyone interprets Scripture through their own lens, who do we trust? Matthew and Ritah tackle interpretive authority, why the differences between the Gospel accounts actually strengthen their credibility, and what scholars call the "criterion of embarrassment." We land on agapē as the standard every interpretation must answer to.


The 5th Gospel Podcast is hosted by Matthew and Ritah Murphy, companion to Matthew's upcoming book, The 5th Gospel. Like, share, and subscribe, and we'll connect again next time.
