How should we think about scripture in our post-modern contexts?  What are we to do with historical and scientific discoveries that supposedly contradict scripture?  Does inherency and infallibility still play a part in our modern Biblical understanding?  We sat down and had a conversation with Dr. Iain Provan discussing these questions and more.  We hope you enjoy this conversation, as well as the episodes to follow in our series on Biblical Hermeneutics.

Today we're talking with someone who has spent his life wrestling with hard questions about the Old Testament: Dr. Iain Provan, Marshall Sheppard Professor of Biblical Studies at Regent College. We're diving right into the questions that have been bugging us for a while: Did the prophets really forecast the future? What do we make of passages that seem to show God's will being thwarted (like 2 Kings 3)? Were the Egyptian plagues just natural events? And what exactly is Sheol? Tune in for this wide-ranging, eye-opening conversation.To learn more about Regent College and our upcoming Fall courses, visit www.regent-college.edu.d
