Historical Context and Lessons from Laodicea: Principles in Biblical Interpretation

Don Carson focuses on Jesus’s message to the church in Laodicea and the parable of the 10 virgins to illustrate the importance of understanding biblical texts within their historical and cultural contexts.

Carson teaches the following:

How Jesus uses Laodicea’s economic symbols to critique spiritual lukewarmness
How the contextual reading of Scripture is an essential precursor to careful biblical exegesis
The symbolism behind Jesus’s foot-washing and what it means for us today
