This week Lee and Chris begin their next series going through Kline’s book titled The Structure of Biblical Authority. Whereas By Oath Consigned focused on the sacrament of baptism, The Structure of Biblical Authority focuses on the nature and character of the Scriptures. Kline’s analysis by way of the ancient near eastern treaties makes for some exciting connections!

This is a bit of a lesson in hermeneutics (or, how to read the Bible). We wanted to make it practical, so we chose a topic (immigration) that is filling the headlines and provoking comment from Christians and church bodies across the theological spectrum. However, almost no one who is chiming in is considering carefully enough the context of the biblical passages they are using. Lee and Chris want to use this as an opportunity to talk about the point of the Bible, how we should read it, and the consequences of misreading it.
