Lecture Title - Carl F. H. Henry's Christ-Centered Biblical Interpretation

Well known as a herald for evangelical social engagement and for his contribution to the doctrines of revelation and Scripture, Carl F. H. Henry also merits attention as a biblical interpreter, demonstrating consistent Christ-centered theological exposition. Appealing to Henry’s commentary on the Gospel of John, and his use of Scripture, and published sermons, Carl F. H. Henry is an exemplar of theological interpretation of Scripture (TIS). Henry preceded the renaissance of TIS by a generation, but his biblical interpretation evidences the movement’s hallmarks, including sympathy toward pre-critical exegesis, an allegiance to the rule of faith, a commitment to the theological unity of Scripture, and the necessity of the Spirit for biblical interpretation.
