In this episode, we explore the questions that have shaped much of our traditional engagement approaches to Scripture. Dr. Tom Steffen and Dr. Bill Bjoraker will help us discover how oral hermeneutics invites us to reconsider our key questions as we seek to understand and communicate biblical message.
To fully appreciate orality, it is critical to deepen our understanding of the Hebraic communication paradigm. In this episode, Bill Bjoraker & Tom Steffen will explore God's intentional engagement with the children of Israel through meaning-filled expressions such as symbol, ritual, and materiality.
The lives of the saints are the hermeneutical key to Scripture—S. HauerwasThis webinar seeks to explore how engaging oral hermeneutics naturally leads to fresh ways of theologizing that can complement systematic and biblical theology. Building on previous episodes, the discussion will explore how orality and character theology allow for powerful connection and application between biblical characters of old and our lives today.
This conversation will begin with a brief and broad consideration of the typical text-reliant, systematic hermeneutical approaches of today. With those markers in place, Tom and Bill will spell out what they are offering by way of an oral hermeneutic and model this in a practical storytelling demonstration.https://godspeaks.buzzsprout.com
This conversation will delve into Tom and Bill’s chapter on how orality has shaped and interfaced with text in the making of the canon. The goal will be to help illuminate how our text-centric paradigm as a holdover from the Enlightenment (that was discussed in episode 3) is a relatively recent development. Furthermore, it will help illuminate how rather than orality being considered some new or modern trend, it has been instrumental all along.
