Listen "362: Why Christians Should Abandon Partitive Exegesis"

Episode Synopsis

Partitive Exegesis is the interpretive strategy of reading into the texts of Scripture the doctrine of Christ's Two Natures, attributing to some things Jesus did as pertaining to his human nature and other things to Jesus' divine nature. This week's episode shows how key figures in the fourth and fifth centuries employed partitive exegesis in their understanding of Christology. We also examine the New Testament to demonstrate why partitive exegesis distorts the Bible's portrayal of Jesus rather than responsibly explaining its original meaning.
