Postmodernism; Allegorization

Audio & notes are available for our ninth class in the Hermeneutics course. The focus of the class was split between a review of Dr. Brian Miller's presentation on Postmodernism, and a brief overview of the dangers of allegorization as an interpretive methodology. Access is available in the upper right hand column of this website, or by clicking here.

Messianic Expectations

Lesson #17 of my course God's Story of Redemption focuses on the historical development of and the constellation of beliefs surrounding first century Jewish messianic expectations. Understanding this is crucial to understanding Jesus and the early Church's eschatological hope. Audio and notes are now available here.

Postmodernism, Hermeneutics, & the Church by Dr. Brian Miller

The Hermeneutics class was privileged to host Dr. Brian Miller today, who lectured on the distinctions between Pre-Modern, Modern, and Post-Modern worldviews, and the implications of the latter two upon both hermeneutics and the Church. It was an outstanding overview, and is especially relevant for church leaders and thinking Christians in the Western world. Dr. Miller has graciously granted permission for both the audio and the slides to be made available. You may access them here.

The Prophets' Message of Restoration

Class #16 of God's Story of Redemption focuses on the enscripturated prophets' message of restoration for the exiles of Judah and Israel. These prophecies are enormously significant in terms of setting the stage for the historical development of a messianic expectation among the Jews. Audio and notes can be found here.

Biblical Imagery

The seventh class from my hermeneutics course covers the interpretation of biblical imagery. You can access the audio and notes here.
