Don't Read Into This Title
Welcome to episode two of The Thinklings Podcast!

Something extraordinary is born in this episode, something Thinklings will do until the end of life on this earth: Books & Business. Boom – a new podcast segment was born! During this segment, we talk about books we have been reading (or audio-booking) intending to provide an assessment of their overall value to be read by you!

After Books & Business, Thinkling Stearns leads a discussion regarding authorial intent. The goal of interpretation should be to seek the original author’s meaning, and this idea obviously has ramifications for Bible study. Authorial intent also influences our interpretation of every book we read. You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but you can judge this podcast episode by its title – “Don’t read into this title.” In this case, our title intends to begin discussing authorial intent and hermeneutics. Let’s dive into the conversation!
