Dr Joseph R. Miller argues that CRT’s four interpretive lenses, which focus on the experiences of oppressed groups, distort the Bible’s meaning, creating a subjective interpretation that ultimately undermines the text’s universal truth and authority. He argues that these lenses lead to a rejection of traditional Christian doctrine, a denial of the writers’ and God’s personhood, and a reliance on group consensus rather than objective meaning. Miller advocates for a different approach, recognizing the Bible’s shared truth across cultures and identities, encouraging respect for the writers’ humanity, upholding the sacred worth of every reader, and ultimately submitting to God’s authority.
