Dr. Larry Caldwell - Culturally Relevant Biblical Interpretation

 Today Beth and Esther sit down with one of their favorite seminary professors Dr. Larry Caldwell to talk about how we can interpret the Bible in culturally relevant ways. Whether you’re a person in ministry wondering how to make the gospel relevant in your context or a person who’s always been intimidated by biblical interpretation because you’re never sure if you’re “doing it right,” this conversation is for you! Dr. Larry helps us unpack questions like how do we honor and value the way other people view and experience the world even if it’s not the way we view or experience the world? And how can our biblical interpretation honor those views and experiences? What does the gospel look like to someone who views the world differently than we do, and how can we help them to follow Jesus in a way that’s meaningful to them? Dr. Larry reminds us to slow down, embrace the discomfort of the unfamiliar, and do the hard work of understanding what our people actually need from biblical interpretation.
