Faithful Politics "Is the Prophetic Copasetic?" w/Dr. Craig Keenar
Let's say you were a person of faith and one that believes in divine words from God. If you had a word directly from the divine would you share it? What method would you use to make sure you had it right? Is there anyway to know?
This week faithful host Josh Burtram and guest host James Cane interview Dr. Craig Keener, a world class New Testament Scholar. Listen in on their discussion as they go from epistemology, to the right method to interpret the world around us, to how to judge prophecy, and back again. Come on and join! You won’t regret it.
Guest Bio:
Dr. Keener did his Ph.D. work in New Testament and Christian Origins at Duke University and is known for his work as a New Testament scholar on Bible background (commentaries on the New Testament in its early Jewish and Greco-Roman settings). Well over a million of his thirty-plus books are in circulation and have won thirteen national and international awards.
His award-winning, popular-level IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament (now in its second edition [2014], and available in a number of languages) has sold over half a million copies.
The goal of this site is to reach a wide audience with selections from Dr. Keener’s nontechnical writings and teaching videos to help anyone who studies the Bible to see the Scriptures in their historical context.
Craig is married to Médine Moussounga Keener, who holds a Ph.D. from University of Paris 7. She was a refugee for 18 months in her nation of Congo, and together Craig and Médine work for ethnic reconciliation in the U.S. and Africa. Craig is ordained by the National Baptist Convention, an African-American denomination, and for roughly a decade was one of the associate ministers at Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church in Philadelphia. Craig and Médine’s story together is Impossible Love: The True Story of an African Civil War, Miracles, and Hope Against All Odds (Chosen Books, 2016).
