Protestant Biblical Interpretation

The sermon explores the need for rigorous biblical interpretation within Protestantism, drawing from Bernard Rahm's *Protestant Biblical Interpretation* to advocate for a disciplined approach rooted in historical and grammatical context. The speaker laments the prevalence of subjective interpretation and the absence of systematic study, highlighting the failure to cultivate responsible Bible study methods despite repeated calls for them. Ultimately, the speaker challenges the assumptions of perspicuity of Scripture and the role of divine illumination, arguing that a commitment to sound hermeneutics is essential for navigating the complexities of biblical understanding and avoiding the pitfalls of individualistic, unchecked interpretation.
