We were able to talk with Dr. Vern S. Poythress recently about his newly released book In the Beginning Was the Word: Language, a God Centered-Approach. This was an important interview because we had the opportunity to ask Dr. Poythress several questions that are often raised by those who are skeptical of Tri-perspectivalism as a hermenuetical principle. I would consider myself to be one such skeptic. While this is the case, I thoughtDr. Poythress made many interesting and helpful points, and provided very thoughtful and carefully balanced answers to the questions raised. I think you will benefit from listening to the intervie and reading the book. You can listen here.

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve. (Romans 16:17-18)
