Scripture as Participatory Experience with the Triune God

People interpret the Bible in many different ways, and the field of biblical studies contains a myriad of different methods and approaches to reading the Bible that are ultimately founded in different views of what the Bible is. This lecture will turn to Hebrews to ground a view of Scripture that leads to a particular way of not only reading a text but experiencing intratrinitarian dialogue that transports the reader into the heavenly throne room and calls the reader to respond in faith.
