Can Scripture mean more than its human author intended? In this episode of Through Theology in a Year, Michael explores one of the most fascinating and controversial questions in biblical interpretation. If God is the ultimate Author of Scripture, can He communicate truths that transcend the conscious awareness of the biblical writers while remaining faithful to their intended meaning? Along the way, Michael introduces the concept of "Biblical Docetism"—the tendency to emphasize the divine character of Scripture while neglecting its genuinely human nature. Just as the early church fought to preserve the full humanity and full deity of Christ, Christians must be careful not to deny either the divine or human dimensions of God's Word. The discussion also examines the doctrine of sensus plenior ("fuller sense"), asking whether biblical texts can possess a deeper meaning intended by God beyond what the human author fully understood. How should we understand New Testament uses of the Old Testament? What role does authorial intent play in interpretation? And where does inspiration actually reside? Join Michael as he explores these questions and argues for a robust doctrine of Scripture that takes both divine and human authorship seriously. 🔗 Get Involved Michael's Blog: [https://credohouse.org](https://credohouse.org) Credo Courses: [https://credocourses.com](https://credocourses.com) Through the Church Fathers in a Year: [https://throughthechurchfathers.com](https://throughthechurchfathers.com) Support Michael on Patreon: [https://patreon.com/cmichaelpatton](https://patreon.com/cmichaelpatton) Credo Ministries: [https://credoministries.org](https://credoministries.org) #Theology #Bible #BiblicalInterpretation #Hermeneutics #SensusPlenior #InspirationOfScripture #TheologyUnplugged #ChristianTheology #BiblicalStudies #CMichaelPatton #ThroughTheologyInAYear #Scripture #EvangelicalTheology #AuthorialIntent #BibleStudy
