In this episode, I speak with Dr. Robert Wall (Professor of Scripture and Wesleyan Studies at Seattle Pacific University) about the theological interpretation of Scripture. We focus on distinctively Wesleyan approaches to reading the Bible. In particular, we discuss how Scripture invites us to a deeper life of holiness and transformation.

Bio:
Robert Wall’s books and articles — whether aimed at other scholars or clergy — originate in the ferment of the university classroom and in conversation with his students and colleagues. In both his published research and classroom teaching, Dr. Wall approaches the Bible as a sacred text — a “production of the Holy Spirit” — and in a manner that forms a clearer understanding of God for the people of God.
The Reverend Dr. Wall is a Seattle native, an avid sportsman (CrossFitter, hiker, rower, and grandpa), and a dedicated Seattle sports fan. He is an elder of the Free Methodist Church who enjoys an active ecumenical ministry of preaching and teaching adult Bible studies in congregations of various faith traditions.
