Q&A: How Creative Can We Be In Our Interpretation?

About this episode

Alastair Roberts answers questions from his supporters about the creativity in biblical interpretation.

I am answering questions that my supporters have left for me on my Discord group. This one concerns how far we can go in relating biblical texts when there may not be a clear exegetical connection between them.
