Sensus Plenoir Quotes

“For the Great Tradition of Christian orthodoxy, the ‘literal sense’ refers to the meaning of the biblical text, whether that meaning is conveyed through literal statements or through some sort of figural language and whether that meaning is what the human author consciously intended or is an extension of the human author’s intention implanted in the text by the Holy Spirit through inspiration.”
― Craig A. Carter, Interpreting Scripture with the Great Tradition

“A sensus plenior is possible providing that it grows organically out of the literal or plain sense.”
― Craig A. Carter, Interpreting Scripture with the Great Tradition
