Marcus Mininger | Redemptive-Historical Interpretation
"In this special live recording of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey, Lane Tipton, Jim Cassidy, and guest Marcus Mininger explore the vital topic of redemptive historical interpretation. Dr. Mininger is Professor of New Testament Interpretation at Mid-America Reformed Seminary and author of Uncovering the Theme of Revelation in Romans 1:16–3:26: Discovering a New Approach to Paul’s Argument (Mohr Siebeck). Recorded in Oklahoma City as part of Reformed Forum’s Redemptive History Seminar, this discussion examines how Scripture should be read and understood through the lens of God’s unfolding revelation in Christ. Dr. Mininger provides fresh insights into Romans 1–3, uncovering the biblical theme of revelation and how it shapes our understanding of God’s righteousness. The conversation also tackles Hebrews 6, a notoriously difficult passage, through a redemptive historical framework—showing why a return to the Old Covenant is both impossible and perilous. Throughout the episode, the panel reflects on the importance of a Christ-centered hermeneutic, the role of Scripture as its own interpreter, and how biblical theology helps believers grasp the grand narrative of redemption. The discussion concludes with engaging audience questions, further unpacking key interpretive challenges. Join us for this rich theological discussion and discover how reading Scripture in its redemptive historical context deepens our understanding of God’s Word. 00:00:07 Welcome and Introduction 00:04:01 Introduction to the Live Podcast Session 00:07:02 What is Redemptive Historical Interpretation? 00:13:23 The Importance of a Christ-Centered Hermeneutic 00:20:13 Understanding Paul's Argument in Romans 1-3 00:34:36 Exploring the Theme of Revelation in Romans 00:54:06 The Bible as Its Own Interpreter 01:00:21 A Redemptive Historical Reading of Hebrews 6 01:08:44 The "Jetway" Illustration for the Old and New Covenants 01:11:45 Audience Questions and Discussion This is Christ the Center episode 896 (https://www.reformedforum.org/ctc89 " from the video introduction
