Don’t Read the Bible Through Your Cultural Moment

Main message: Scripture is unchanging and should be the lens through which we interpret cultural moments; theology—specifically about women—should be formed by Scripture, not by contemporary cultural trends.

Key points:

• The Bible is the eternal, unchanging Word of God.
• Interpreting Scripture through the cultural moment is dangerous ("slippery territory").
• Instead, interpret cultural moments through the lens of Scripture.
• Theology about women should be informed by Scripture, not by current cultural shifts.
• Personal understanding of Scripture shapes how one views societal developments.
