R. R. Reno Discusses the "Re"unification of Truth and Theology
Theologian and professor R. R. Reno, a guest on Volume 67 of the MARS HILL AUDIO Journal, follows in the footsteps of both the late Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI by encouraging a renewal of philosophically rich theology in a book review published in the April 2006 issue of First Things. "Theology's Continental Captivity," which Reno begins with a review of Thomas Guardino's Foundations of Systematic Theology, asserts that theology will be revived through a rededication to truth, to the reality that there are things to be known in the world and that it is in human nature to discover them. . . .

Notes on Inspiration and Incarnation: Evangelicals and the Problem of the Old Testament and Sanctified Vision: An Introduction to Early Christian Interpretation of the Bible
"The problems many of us feel regarding the Bible may have less to do with the Bible itself and more to do with our own preconceptions." Peter Enns, Inspiration and Incarnation: Evangelicals and the Problem of the Old Testament
"Once one thinks that the scriptures are divinely inspired, then the primary project is not to assess them. . . . The church fathers sought to explain how the vast heterogeneity and diversity of scriptural data might be brought into an intellectually satisfying form. This was the basic project of interpretation, as they understood it." John J. O'Keefe and R. R. Reno, Sanctified Vision: An Introduction to Early Christian Interpretation of the Bible
