Is Keller's view of the father in the Prodigal Son parable a reasonable interpretation? Just want to point out that Keller's work is really not a doctrinal one; simply a (relatively) novel interpretation. It is really a popular level expositional commentary that happens to pretty heavy on application. |

How can we understand “fear”? Great question! I've wondered how those two command ("fear God" and "do not fear") interact... |

How can we understand “fear”? How do you explain Eph 5:33--"the wife must respect her husband"; the word "respect" here is φοβέω, literally "fear" |

What does it mean to be “born of water”? The assumption that "water" is "flesh" and "spirit" is "spirit" lacks support. Not to get too far into it (though it would be a great follow-up), but I would argue that what Jesus is getting at is that one who is the natural human family generated only more of the same, to be contrasted with the Spirit begetting spiritual people. In other words, one does not move from flesh to spirit, but requires instead a new birth. Nicodemus, as "teacher of Israel" should have known this (v10) from his study of the Old Testament verses like the one cited above |

What does the prohibition against women speaking in church in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 mean? @LanceRoberts, try to understand that the historical-grammatical method is a rather popular one, and certainly valid at least in terms of the scope of this site. This question is simply employing that method on these verses. |

What does it mean that “Scripture interprets Scripture”? Ah, I see what you mean. My conservative protestant ears are so used to hearing of the rule of faith in connection with "scripture interprets scripture" that I forget that the concepts are not always so tightly linked. |

Which hermeneutical approaches support a literal interpretation of the Creation account? I'm not arguing for two sites. Rather, I'm saying that questions that are actually about hermeneutics are no less on-topic than questions about exegesis. Your point about the question being overly broad, OTOH, is well taken. |

Which hermeneutical approaches support a literal interpretation of the Creation account? Lance, to see them as the same is simply ignoring the meaning of the words. See this question: hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/questions/36/… |
