PLENARY #2

Spirituality & Hermeneutics

February 21, 2025
9:00 AM

Most within the Stone-Campbell heritage would agree: the Holy Spirit attends God’s Word in Scripture. Notably, however, foregrounding spiritual formation in interpretive acts has been largely unfamiliar territory for us. This class will consider what it might take for us to step into such hermeneutic territory with confidence. Our exploration will be focused by the following crucial truths: that God’s Spirit generated, sanctified, and preserved the biblical texts for the Triune God’s purposes; that the Holy Spirit continues to work in and through Scripture, not only to inform us about Christ but also to form Christ in us; and that the Spirit does all of this through incarnational means.
