Biblical Interpretation: Patristic, Reformation, and Modern

This post lists the major posts I have made on the topic of Biblical interpretation. This covers both the history of Biblical interpretation and my own views in general and on particular passages.

My basic perspective is that is the interpretation of a relatively small number of Biblical passages, not "world view" or "deep philosophical presuppositions," that is the most important factor governing theology. It is developed a bit here:
