Understanding Biblical Interpretation Through Language and Public Discipleship

Dr. Santiago explores the interpretation of biblical concepts through the lens of language evolution, shedding light on the importance of public discipleship. This episode navigates the themes of discipleship in the Book of Revelation, the concept of code-switching in communication, and how language impacts our understanding of gender roles. Additionally, the episode examines how different biblical translations influence contemporary perceptions of faith and identity.

Understanding Cultural Context and Gender Language in Biblical Interpretation

Interpreting Biblical texts requires a keen understanding of cultural context, gender-specific language nuances, and historical background. Dr. Santiago discusses how misinterpretations can lead to misconceptions about roles and identities, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and love over hierarchical dominance. The episode also explores the significance of foundational creedal statements, such as the Apostles Creed, in shaping one's new creation identity in Christianity.

Join Dr. Erika Santiago in this thought-provoking episode as she urges listeners to look deeper into their faith, moving beyond private versus public expressions, and embracing a holistic understanding of their identity in Christ.
