A Catholic View of Scripture with Brad East
Show notes
In this episode, Clinton and Joel are joined by Brad East for a wide-ranging discussion of a catholic perspective on Scripture. We ask Brad about his background and theological journey towards a catholic view before discussing issues that arise in his two books, The Doctrine of Scripture and The Church's Book: Theology of Scripture in Ecclesial Context. We cover the influence of Robert Jenson on Brad's work, issues of authority in interpreting Scripture, the relationship between Protestantism and historical criticism, the place of figural/theological interpretations of Scripture, how to help people engage Scripture as reading culture declines, and much more.
Brad has two new books coming out this fall: The Church: A Guide to the People of God (Lexham, 2024), and Letters to a Future Saint: Foundations of Faith for the Spiritually Hungry (Eerdmans, 2024).
