Brevard Childs helped broaden Biblical studies beyond the exclusively historical critical approach that dominated between the late 19th and late 20th centuries. Dr Daniel Driver, associate professor of Biblical Studies at AST, is perhaps the leading scholar of Childs today. Daniel leads us on a discussion of Childs and the forms of (figural) biblical interpretation that he has helped put back on the intellectual landscape. The conversation proceeds to consider how preachers can avail of more daring methods of biblical interpretation in their lenten preaching. Please share your thoughts on the topics discussed below!
