How the Old Testament Teaches Us to Read the Bible (Ep 241) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How did people in the Old Testament understand God’s Word, and what can their example teach Christians about interpreting the Bible today? In this third installment of the hermeneutics series, Dr. Peter Goeman examines an often overlooked starting point for biblical interpretation: how Old Testament believers understood and responded to God’s revelation. From God’s covenant with Noah to Joseph’s confidence in the promises to Abraham, Dr. Goeman explores why the details of God’s words matter. He
How Authors Communicate Meaning in the Bible (Ep 240) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If authorial intent determines the meaning of Scripture, how can we actually know what a biblical author intended to communicate? In this second episode of the Hermeneutics 101 series, we look at how the text gives us access to authorial intent through grammar, vocabulary, historical context, genre, and normal conventions of human communication. Along the way, we consider Humpty Dumpty’s famous approach to language, the difference between literal and literalistic interpretation, how context dete

Read excerpt
Does the Old Testament really teach a future for national Israel? In this episode, Peter Goeman walks verse-by-verse through Jeremiah 32, arguing that one of the clearest prophetic passages in Scripture leaves little room to deny God's future restoration of Israel. Along the way, he examines church history, prophetic interpretation, the New Covenant, and why fulfilled prophecy provides the pattern for understanding prophecy that is still future.

20 Questions that Expose Dispensationalism? (Ep 237) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Do these twenty questions expose fatal problems with dispensationalism? Critics argue that dispensational theology cannot adequately explain key Bible passages concerning Israel and the church, the kingdom of God, Daniel’s seventieth week, the pretribulation rapture, biblical prophecy, and the New Covenant. In this episode, Peter Goeman works rapidly through twenty common objections to dispensationalism and asks whether they genuinely overturn the system. Along the way, he examines covenant theo
