In this episode, the four hosts sit down together (well, virtually) and talk about how we read, interpret, and apply the Bible within our own lives and work. Approaching this from each of our subdisciplines, we raise questions about how doctrine and Scripture relate, what the relationship is between the divine and human authors, and how the text of the New and Old Testaments relates to later Creeds and theological developments.
