Review of Chapter One of Through New Eyes by James B. Jordan

from The Perspectivalist · host Uriesou Brito

I do not believe there has been a more theologically impactful book on the interpretive biblical sphere than James B. Jordan's "Through New Eyes: Developing a Biblical View of the World." This book has shaped much of my own thinking, and it has forced me to see and develop a more biblicized approach to the Bible itself. The reason I say "forced" is because at times, it is easier to bring foreign hermeneutics into the text to explain basic concepts. But the Bible contains its own hermeneutics as well as its own language.My goal through these podcasts is to offer an overview of James Jordan's TNE and some additional insights to build a healthy interpretive guide to biblical passages.This episode covers chapter one, which focuses on the following:a) The necessity of understanding Genesis 1 & 2 as a paradigm for reading the rest of the Scriptures.b) The importance of a six-day creation hermeneuticc) The case against the Framework hypothesisd) Reading biblically means associating the Bible with the Biblee) The need to return to Psalm-singingf) Five rules for interpretationThis episode is for subscribers only, but if you do not wish to subscribe for $1, I can send you a direct link.
