Caleb Dyer’s Reviews > Taught by God: Ancient Hermeneutics for the Modern Church > Status Update

I think if this book was a tiny bit longer it would make a better case for these sensibilities. I think it’s good, but I don’t feel like this chapter has defended his conclusions as well.

Stayed up late with Julia last night so I got some more reading in. I like the people Smith chooses to represent his point. He’s a good author and actually incredibly smart (translating some of these works from Greek and Latin)

I love pre modern exegesis. They did not see a distinction between exegeting and doing theology. They cannot be separated as we do now.
