IN PHOTOS: On August 12, BSOP had the privilege of inviting Dr. John Yieh to give a special lecture for the students in the Chinese track. The topic of the lecture was “Enacting the Scripture for the Church: A History-of-Effects Approach.”
Dr. Yieh first introduced the History of Effects as a newer approach to biblical interpretation. He then demonstrated this method through two biblical passages: Matthew 16:13–19, concerning the rock of the Christian Church, and Luke 10:30–37, the parable of the Good Samaritan.
Through Dr. Yieh’s lecture, the students gained a deeper understanding of how these passages have been interpreted in various ways throughout the history of the Church. This approach helped us discover many spiritual resources within the history of biblical interpretation and enriched our understanding of Scripture.
We are deeply grateful to Dr. John Yieh for his insightful teaching and for sharing his knowledge and experience with us.
