In the Parable of the Good Samaritan, a lawyer tests Jesus by asking, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus then asks him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” (Luke 10:26).
How would we answer Jesus today? How do we read the Bible? The “four senses of Holy Scripture” is a good start towards an answer.
This Lunch & Learn Series explores the four senses of Holy Scripture (the literal, allegorical, tropological, and anagogical) with an eye to their application in contemporary life.
June 6: The literal sense: What does the text say?
June 13: The allegorical sense: What does the text mean in terms of God’s revelation in Christ?
June 20: The tropological sense: What does the text mean in terms of life on earth?
June 27: The anagogical sense: What does the text mean in terms of life in heaven?
