Pastor Jared Melius on "Hermeneutical Humility"

Pastor Jared Melius speaking on the topic of "Hermeneutical Humility" at the "Getting Back to the Bible on the Age of the Earth" Conference at Mt. Zion Lutheran Church in Denver, Colorado, May 19, 2023.
This presentation will explore the most common explanations for departing from what seems to be the most straight-forward reading of Genesis 5 and 11, such as focus on Messianic lineage, numerology, and the like. For as seemingly theological or perceptive such explanations might seem, we’ll explore the actual likelihood than any such un-stated origins of the text are actually true.
Pastor Jared Melius has been the pastor at Mt. Zion Lutheran Church in Denver, CO for the last 17 years. He graduated from Concordia Theological Seminary in 2005. He serves on the Denver Society of Creation board.
