From Sensus Plenior
A Survey of The Life and Teachings of Jesus

David (D): This work began as a traditional approach to an Introduction to the New testament: A survey of the structure and topics of the New Testament.
However, when introduced to sensus plenior, it took a turn to become a dialog between a traditional approach to scripture and that which is totally unfamiliar to the traditional approach.
What value is there in considering the proposition of sensus plenior?
- Bob (B): I did not set out to make a new hermeneutic or way to study the Bible, so I did not formulate a reason to study differently. It is only after the fact of reading the sensus plenior (SP), that I may speak to the point. We will observe that SP will answer many of the problems which seem to be invented by the traditional methods, giving us a firm trust in the word.
