Grant Castleberry

In this episode of the Unashamed Truth Podcast, Grant Castleberry sits down with Dr. Jim Hamilton, Professor of Biblical Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and pastor of Kenwood Baptist Church.

Together, they explore how Christians are meant to read and interpret Scripture faithfully. What is hermeneutics? Why does authorial intent matter? How should we understand the Old Testament in light of Christ?

Dr. Hamilton explains key principles of interpretation, the role of typology in Scripture, and how the Bible tells one unified story from Adam to Christ. Along the way, they discuss practical ways believers can grow in their understanding of the Word through reading, memorization, and meditation.

This conversation will strengthen your confidence in Scripture and help you see the glory of Christ on every page.
