In this episode of Theologically Driven, host Phil Cecil welcomes Dr. Kyle Dunham to discuss Michael B. Shepherd’s new book, An Introduction to the Making and Meaning of the Bible. They explore how Scripture’s composition—especially in the Old Testament—reveals its message through narrative framed by poetry, editorial comments, and programmatic passages. Dunham highlights examples like Jacob’s and Moses’s blessings, the Balaam oracles, and the way books begin and end to signal theological themes. The conversation also covers textual criticism and translation, including the roles of the Masoretic Text, the Septuagint, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and why Jeremiah’s textual history is uniquely complex. Turning to compositional strategy, they trace messianic trajectories in the Old Testament and show how the New Testament mirrors and fulfills these patterns through the Gospels, Acts, and the Epistles. Along the way, Dunham offers appreciative engagement with Shepherd’s insights while noting points of critique—such as privileging the Septuagint in certain cases and the balance of kingdom and covenant themes.Learn More about DBTS at https://dbts.eduLearn More about Rice Lecture Series at https://dbts.edu/rice
