How do a Psychologist and Theologian Read Scripture Differently?

Описание: In this Theology Lab episode Scott is joined by clinical psychologist and a teacher at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, Dr. Paul Domigan. They talk about how they read the Bible or interpret Scripture differently, in a live, spontaneous format! This conversation focuses on tensions or contradictions within the Bible, and how two Christians engage these issues of biblical reading / interpretation.

Scott and Paul bring out how they find engaging these differences not to be threats but opportunities for growth in their friendship and understanding how to read the Bible. Conversations like these try to capture what Theology Lab is about in pursuit of a faith characterized by curiosity, courage and compassion.
