Hermeneutics, Epistemology, and the New Testament pt. 2 of 3

Justin and Stephen continue the discussion of Justin’s dissertation about Ephesians and the Roman Empire. In the second part of this three part series, they talk about Speech Act Theory. Justin applies the ideas of Speech Act Theory to Ephesians 5 and Romans 13. In their highlights, lowlights, and insights, Justin shares about a good deal on a book, Stephen talks about trying to maintain multiple languages, and they reflect on accurately interpreting the church as it is today. Also check out Episode 8.5 on Patreon, in which Justin and Stephen talk about understanding the implied audience and why it matters in Biblical Studies.
