In episode 91 of Theology In Particular I’m joined by Dr. James Renihan to discuss a little phrase found in chapter 1 paragraph 5 of our confession: “the scope of the whole (which is to give all glory to God)”. In context, the scope of Scripture is presented as a property of Scripture, but this principle also has implications for the interpretation of Scripture, or hermeneutics. That is where we go with our conversation, ultimately.  We hope you enjoy and are edified somehow.
