S24 Ep 4 | Reading in Color: Engaging Scripture Across Cultural Contexts

Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership with Ruth Haley Barton - A podcast by Ruth Haley Barton - Wednesdays

How is the Holy Spirit leading us to engage with scripture in new and fresh ways? That’s what Ruth and guest Esau McCaulley discuss this week. Esau shares about his work editing The New Testament in Color: A Multi-Ethnic Commentary on the New Testament. They discuss how we need each other, reading and interpreting across all kinds of different cultures and contexts in order to best discern the mind of Christ, how differently we can view a biblical story depending on which character’s shoes we put ourselves in, and the importance of relinquishing control when it comes to a broader reading of scripture.
