Doctrine of Perspicuity
In this video and article, Richard talks about the Doctrine of Perspicuity. This was first put forward by the Reformers and included in the Westminster Confession of Faith. It basically says that although some parts of Scripture may be deep and require a degree of interpretation, there are nevertheless many parts that are intended to be plain, straightforward and easy to understand. At the end of the video, Richard cites the example of Genesis 1-3 which is clearly written as an historical narrative.
