Discovering Truth with Dr. Bruce Waltke

Welcome to episode 4 of A Biblical Frame. Today we welcome Old Testament scholar Dr. Bruce Waltke and Professor of Economics at Simon Fraser University Douglas W. Allen to the show to discuss truth.

It has been a common experience in the last number of years to disagree with one another on what we might hold as true. This is not unique to the past 2 years of our Covid lockdown world but the conversations surrounding Covid have shown the fissures surrounding truth in our relationships.

In this episode, we explore how we might come to know and live by the truth. The media cycle whirls around us at astounding speeds and we are left wondering what is true and how should we live.

“When you hear God’s word, do it. And don’t listen to somebody else if God really is clear to you; you are responsible before God for yourself. Be sure you are open to hear whatever it says, even if you don’t like it.” - Bruce Waltke
