Summary

What is a definitive standard for Biblical interpretation? Our guest is Dr. Craig Carter. He’s professor of theology at Tyndale University College and Seminary, and his most recent book--Interpreting Scripture with the Great Tradition: Recovering the Genius of Premodern Exegesis-- is a robust defense of bible interpretation grounded in the Trinitarian theology of the Nicene tradition. Dr. Carter walks us through the exegetical process that defined the orthodoxy we observe today. We’ll consider several historical figures, including Thomas Aquinas, and such intriguing subjects as Christian Platonism. Tune in for this compelling conversation, and discover whether Bible interpretation is a task for scholars only. You may be surprised by what Dr. Carter’s has to say!

0:00.0	This podcast is underwritten in part by the NIV Biblical Theology Study Bible with General Editor D.A. Carson, the only study Bible built on biblical theology, inviting you to marvel at the big story as you savor each detail. The website is, what is biblical theology.com. com.
0:42.8	Welcome to Mortification of Spin, a casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman, Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird.
0:48.2	Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.
0:50.7	Let's join this week's conversation.
1:03.7	Well, welcome to Mordification of Spin.
1:08.4	My name's Carl Truman, professor at Grove City College in western Pennsylvania, and I'm here with my two usual hosts, Amy Bird, the housewife theologian,
1:12.8	speaking to us somewhere from Maryland. I'm not sure if I pronounce that correctly. I'm always
1:17.1	being mocked for my pronunciation letter, Maryland, and Todd Pruitt from his mega church in Harrison,
1:23.4	Burke, Virginia. And today we want to address a pressing topic through an extremely
1:30.3	interesting book that's just been published. One of the questions that I've come across,
1:36.7	maybe in the last five or ten years in various contexts, has been that of does classical
1:42.7	theism preach?
1:49.1	Does the doctrine of God that was held pretty much by all Christians everywhere prior to about 1800, does it preach?
1:54.2	Is it still a viable option for those who seek to expand the word of God week by week to doctrines such as simplicity,
2:03.3	immutability, impassibility. Can they still speak? Or are they to be consigned to the rubbish heap
2:10.9	of theological, expositional history? And there have been various approaches taken to this topic over recent years. And one of the
2:19.2	most interesting is in a new book from Baker Bookhouse interpreting scripture with the great
2:26.0	tradition, recovering the genius of pre-modern exegesis by Dr. Craig A. Carter. Dr. Carter is a professor of theology at Tyndale University College and Seminary in Canada
2:39.2	and author of Rethinking Christ and Culture.
2:42.6	And it's our very great pleasure to have Dr. Carter with us on the podcast today.
2:47.2	Welcome, Dr. Carter.
2:49.0	Great to be here.
