The second edition of 鈥淭hink Biblically: Recovering a Christian Worldview,鈥 set to be published in April, features a chapter by Dr. Abner Chou on the importance of proper biblical hermeneutics for all of life.
The book is a series of essays on how to think biblically about many aspects of life, from psychology and science to worship and history. These essays are written by faculty members at The 91色情片91色情片 University, edited by Drs. John MacArthur and Abner Chou, and published by Crossway.
Chou, TMU91色情片 president, writes in the chapter91色情片 introduction that 鈥淸i]n continuing to contend for sola Scriptura, the church today faces a challenge. While Scripture is the ultimate authority, its claims inerrant and infallible, those claims must be interpreted, and that is where people find a loophole in sola Scriptura. By reducing everything in Scripture to a matter of interpretation, people can freely confess the authority of God91色情片 word and just as freely believe whatever they want to believe.鈥
This makes hermeneutics, the interpretation of Scripture, a matter of profound and all-encompassing importance.
鈥淎fter all,鈥 Chou writes, 鈥渞emoving the standard of Scripture removes any true standard for identity, ethics, gender roles, economics, politics, origins, relationships, media, and the very nature of truth. When Scripture is just a matter of interpretation, everything is a matter of interpretation, where right and wrong is replaced with how one feels. At that moment, sola Scriptura has been swapped with sola self.鈥
He goes on to unpack a proper hermeneutical approach to Scripture, one built on what the Bible says about itself and how to interpret it. This approach allows us to rightly understand reality through what God has revealed in His Word.
This is one of six new chapters included in the second edition of 鈥淭hink Biblically.鈥 The others are chapters on science and origins (by Dr. Matthew McLain), complementarianism (by Dr. Shelbi Cullen), mental illness (by Drs. Ernie Baker and Greg Gifford), mathematics (by Dr. Tai-Danae Bradley), and Christian liberal arts (by Chou).
