A Catholic View of Scripture with Brad East

In this episode, Clinton and Joel are joined by Brad East (bradeast.org) 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 (books.google.fi/books/about/The_Doctrine_of_Sc…) and The Church's Book: Theology of Scripture in Ecclesial Context (eerdmans.com/9780802878151/the-churchs-book). 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 (bradeast.org/the-church-lexham-essentials) (Lexham, 2024), and Letters to a Future Saint: Foundations of Faith for the Spiritually Hungry (bradeast.org/blog/next-book-cover-blurbs-etc) (Eerdmans, 2024).
