Episode notes
Bible's Univocality is a Dogma
- Many believe the Bible speaks with one unified voice without contradictions.
- This dogma supports the idea of biblical inerrancy and unity but is not historically accurate.
Inerrancy Emerged in 19th Century
- Early Christians focused on the message, not on text inerrancy or univocality.
- Formal ideas of biblical inerrancy emerged only in the 19th century and developed over time.
Beware and Mitigate Your Biases
- Recognize and interrogate your own biases when studying the Bible.
- Use good-faith criticism from peers to refine your understanding and avoid dogmatic conclusions.
