The Carson Center Podcast

Interpret the Scriptures in a Pluralistic Age

Oct 23, 2024

Don Carson addresses the challenge of biblical inerrancy and interpretation, particularly in the context of textual variants and modern pluralism. He emphasizes that while textual variations exist, they do not compromise major doctrines, and he calls for a deeper understanding of genre, grace, and cultural relevance in Scripture interpretation.

He teaches the following:

  • Why textual variants don't undermine inerrancy or key doctrines
  • God's sovereignty shown through Scripture's preservation
  • How Genesis 1-3 combines history and symbolism
  • Common grace should not be twisted to oppose God's truth
  • Parables like the Good Samaritan should be modernized carefully
  • Pluralism rejects objective truth, complicating evangelism
  • Biblical interpretation must account for cultural relevance
