Summary

How should we treat the Bible? Inerrant? Infallible? Does it contain errors? Tom  answers questions on the nature of the Bible as well as related issues such as whether the Reformers were right to concentrate solely on scripture rather than church tradition, and whether there is a ‘trajectory hermeneutic’ when it comes to issues like slavery in the Bible.  For prize draws, bonus content and to ask a question sign up at www.askntwright.comFor a 20% discount on The Bible For Everyone go to  https://spckpublishing.co.uk/the-bible-for-everyone and enter discount code NTWRIGHT at checkout.  For the poetry book mentioned near the start - ‘Five Quintets’ by Michael O’Siadhail  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Five-Quintets-Micheal-OSiadhail/dp/1481307096Subscribe to the podcast via PodBean, iTunes or RSS Feed Learn more about your ad choices.
