Hermeneutics, Epistemology, and the New Testament (3 of 3)

Justin and Stephen conclude the second series on Justin’s dissertation about Ephesians and the Roman Empire. Justin explains socially constructed institutional facts and provides key Speech Act Theory definitions. Stephen asks Justin whether his approach overly complicates Biblical interpretation. Justin and Stephen also explore the question of their own implied audience, what we know what the Bible means (not just what it says), and how Justin wrestles with avoiding doing elitist interpretation of the Bible. In their highlights, lowlights, and insights, Stephen reflects on the challenges of experiencing his own incompetence while language learning and Justin talks about an unexpected setback.
