TAKING the Bible ”Transfigurally” with Kevin Vanhoozer (ep. 69)

On this episode of the podcast, we interview one of my most trusted teachers, Dr. Kevin Vanhoozer (who also happens to be a world class theologian!) It’s a conversation about what it means to read the Bible “transfigurally”: to take seriously the literal meaning of the text but also to make sure we follow the text as it leads us to see and savor Jesus Christ. Among the questions we discuss:

• How do we take each passage of Scripture on its own terms while also being attentive to the way it points us to Jesus?
• Is there value in a "step-by-step" method for reading the Bible?
• What does it mean (and not mean) to take the bible "literally"?
• What are some of the bad reading habits we've picked up and what are some better ones?
• What does it mean to be "biblical"?
