Episode notes
Interpreting Scripture
- Interpret scripture using three criteria: consider the whole Bible, the Church's tradition, and the analogy of faith.
- These criteria ensure accurate interpretation and prevent taking scripture out of context.
Dual Authorship of Scripture
- Scripture has both human and divine authors, creating a paradox, not a contradiction.
- To interpret correctly, consider the human author's intent and God's intended revelation.
The Holy Spirit as Author
- The Holy Spirit is scripture's divine author, requiring interpretation in light of the same Spirit.
- While human authors vary, the overarching divine authorship ensures unity.
