What happens when Christians lose confidence in the truthfulness of Scripture?
In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver interviews Dr. Richard Howe, Provost of Southern Evangelical Seminary, to discuss one of the most foundational doctrines of the Christian faith—Biblical Inerrancy.

Together they explore:
📖 What inerrancy means and why it matters
📜 Historical roots of inerrancy—from the Church Fathers to the Reformers
🏛️ The influence of the Enlightenment, higher criticism, and modern scholarship
✍️ The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy (1978)
⚠️ Why inerrancy is under attack today
❗ The theological and practical dangers of redefining inspiration and truth
🙌 How pastors, students, and believers can stand firm in a skeptical age

Dr. Howe also interacts with contemporary challenges raised by scholars such as Mike Licona, highlighting the implications of “flexible inerrancy,” Greco-Roman literary forms, and philosophical assumptions behind modern criticism. If you want to understand why the Bible is trustworthy, how inerrancy has been defended throughout history, and why this doctrine is essential for the health of the Church, this episode is packed with clarity, depth, and conviction.

Should believers speak in tongues today? Is the Book of Acts prescriptive for Christians—or simply descriptive of what happened in the first century? And how do modern Charismatic and Pentecostal practices compare to the biblical gift of tongues? In this in-depth episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver (Associate Professor of Bible Exposition at Dallas Theological Seminary and Professor of Bible & Theology for the National Theological College and Graduate School) carefully examines what Scripture actually teaches about speaking in tongues. Drawing from Acts 2 and 1 Corinthians 12–14, Dr. Weaver explains:
 
✅ The true biblical meaning of “tongues” (glōssai)
✅ The difference between Acts 2 tongues and Corinthian tongues
✅ 12 biblical principles Paul gives for the use of tongues 
✅ Why tongues were a sign for unbelievers
✅ The biblical case that tongues have ceased
✅ Why a “private prayer language” is not found in Scripture.

You’ll also hear Dr. Weaver’s personal story of growing up in charismatic churches and how a careful study of God’s Word changed his understanding of this controversial topic.

Are signs and wonders for today? 🤔 In this powerful episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, host Dr. Paul D. Weaver tackles this hot-button issue by asking a more fundamental question: What were signs for in the Bible? Drawing from his personal experiences in charismatic and Pentecostal churches, Paul shares his journey of evaluating these practices against the ultimate authority—Scripture. He then breaks down his essential "Theological Method" pyramid, explaining the foundational steps from presuppositions to practical theology that every believer must understand to build sound doctrine.

In this episode, you'll discover:
-The Biblical Purpose of Signs & Wonders: How they authenticated Jesus and the Apostles, and why that matters today.
-A Personal Story: Paul's candid childhood experiences with speaking in tongues, healing, and the emotional weight of charismatic practices.
-The 6-Level Theological Pyramid: Learn how Presuppositions, Hermeneutics
-Exegesis, Biblical Theology, Systematic Theology, and Practical Theology work together to form a solid faith. -Scriptural Deep Dive: Examining key passages in Matthew, John, and Acts that define the true role of miracles.
-A Warning About False Signs: What the Bible says about the deceptive miracles of the Antichrist.
-The Final Verdict: Are sign gifts like miracles and healing for today? The answer may surprise you. If you've ever wondered about the role of miracles, the charismatic movement, or how to interpret the Bible correctly, this episode is for you. Learn why we are called to preach the Gospel—not crave signs—as the power of God for salvation.

Next Episode: We tackle the controversial topic of Tongues.

Should Bible translations use gender-inclusive language? Are paraphrases like The Message dangerous—or can they be helpful? And are so-called “literal” translations really more faithful to God’s Word? In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver continues his conversation with Dr. Mark Strauss—New Testament scholar, Bible translation expert, and author of 40 Questions About Bible Translation (Kregel Academic). Together, they dive into the most debated issues in Bible translation, including:

✅ The controversy over gender-inclusive (or gender-accurate) language in translations like the NIV 
✅ The difference between translations, paraphrases, and “transculturations”
✅ Whether “literal” translations are more faithful to Scripture
✅ Challenges faced by translation committees and denominational influences
✅ How pastors and teachers should guide their congregations in using different versions

If you missed Part 1 of this two-part series, we recommend watching that episode first for the foundation of this discussion.
