Reading Scripture with the Wesleyan Quadrilateral

  • Résumé

  • In this episode, Kate explores the Wesleyan Quadrilateral as a valuable framework for reading and interpreting scripture. This approach offers a more balanced and holistic way to engage with the Bible, especially for those who are deconstructing or reconstructing their faith. Kate shares how this framework has transformed her own relationship with scripture, providing a more nuanced understanding that honors both the text and our lived experiences.

    Topics Covered:

    * The four components of the Wesleyan Quadrilateral: Scripture, Tradition, Reason, and Experience

    * How Scripture can be a primary authority without being the sole authority

    * Why acknowledging our traditions (whether formal or informal) enhances our biblical understanding

    * The importance of bringing reason, critical thinking, and modern knowledge to our reading

    * How personal and communal experiences enrich our interpretation of texts
