What really happened in Dr. Solberg's debate with David Wilber on Acts 15? More importantly, what can we learn from it? In this follow-up video, Dr. Solberg slows the conversation down to examine the four larger hermeneutical lessons that emerged. Whether you agreed with his position or David's position (or are still undecided), the goal of this video is to help us become better readers of Scripture. This video tackles the question: How should Christians read the Bible?

Topics include:

  • Acts 15:21 and the Jerusalem Council
  • The difference between exegesis and eisegesis
  • The proper role of biblical scholarship and the Church Fathers
  • Why Scripture should interpret Scripture
  • The importance of a Christ-centered hermeneutic
  • Does the New Testament teach that Gentile believers were expected to become Torah observant?
