Скачать или смотреть The Deconstruction Series - Part 17 | The Bible

In this episode of the Deconstruction Series, Tim Fletcher explores the topic of the Bible and its role within Evangelical Christianity. He shares how, in his early journey, the Bible was considered his final authority — a perspective shaped by his evangelical upbringing. Over time, he began giving himself permission to ask questions, including those about the Bible itself, which had once felt “forbidden.”

Tim discusses:

The challenge of questioning long-held beliefs about the Bible.
How the verse “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God” has often been interpreted narrowly, and his perspective on understanding it more broadly.
The idea that every culture carries its own form of scripture — timeless truths that guide life well.

The importance of hermeneutics (interpretation) when approaching a text written thousands of years ago in a very different culture and context.
How differences in interpretation have led to thousands of Christian denominations, illustrating the complexity of understanding the Bible.
Why distinguishing between “what the Bible says” and “someone’s interpretation of the Bible” is essential.

Throughout the talk, Tim emphasizes that the Bible holds value and timeless truths, while also encouraging careful interpretation and open questioning.
