I’m curious about GTU professor Kah-Jin (Jeffrey) Kuan, a specialist in Old Testament studies, because of his interest in “Asian American Biblical Hermeneutics”. By the time I learned that he was teaching a summer course this year on the subject, it was already too late to attend. Hmmm….do I interpret the Bible differently from my non-Asian friends because of my ethnic background (yes, I know, as a Canadian, I’m not Asian-American).

Dear Raymond,
I recently read an article by Prof Kuan that might satisfy your curiosity. If you’re interested in Prof. Kuan’s views you can check out the site below.

But I have to caution you that Prof. Kuan takes a post-modern approach to biblical hermeneutics. His approach is quite different from the GCF approach which is derived mostly from the Scottish Commonsense Enlightenment.

Do you have a good reference to “Scottish Commonsense Enlightenment” and how it might relate to an Intervarsity-like bible study methodology?
Hmmm…maybe I’ve become more postmodern myself?
