This episode is Part 2 in our series on Biblical interpretation and context. On this episode, we take the book of James as a case study for how context(s) is essential to understanding the meaning of any given text of Scripture. We then explore and assess how to handle Bible "contradictions" and offer a key principle you can use anywhere.

We chat life, Bible, theology, and applying Scripture to daily life.

On this episode we look at a real concern, from a real Filipino, in the real social media space. We respond to their concern, and then dive into Scripture, the reformation, and even the church fathers to explore question, "did God really write TWO books?" We talk Bible, theology, philosophy, and even science!

In this episode of "Think With Me," CTT host Dun Hope Penãlosa and CTT guest Kyle Barrington begin our exploration of Scripture by briefly outlining critical components of Biblical interpretation using the book of Romans as a case study.

We focus on the importance of understanding Biblical context(s) and "peeling back the layers" of those contexts in order to arrive at a faithful interpretation of Scripture that attempts to reach the intent of the Holy Spirit inspired author.

We chat life, we chat Bible, we chat history, we chat context(s).Think through Scripture in context with us!

On this episode we take a look back at the history of The Christian Think Tank PH, why we exist, and what our mission is. We then discuss the importance of thinking, the importance of together-ness, and the importance of thinking together. We look at Scripture, we look at the church, and we reflect on our own personal lives and why it is so important for a follower of Christ to learn how to think well together in community.
