I am enjoying going through the vast amount of videos and article in the Grace History Project.
While you can certainly gleen some doctrine, most of the videos I have watched so far are not so about proclaiming a doctrine, but going through the history of the agreements and disagreements between Paul's gospel and traditions that started to spring up even during the time of Paul himself.
It's more of a documentary about doctrines, rather than trying to teach a doctrine.
And he uses Paul's teachings as the standard in which all teachings from Paul onward to today should be compared against.
I am liking Brian Jordan's approach. For some, it may seem slow going. But that is because he well documents everything he brings up. So even though I may already know a lot of what he is talking about, it is nice to see someone take their time and do so much documentation.
I'm loving the way he approaches this study.
You are exactly right; that is a Grace History study.
He has others that are not the history.
Its interesting; he (Bryan) and Jordan, do not see eye to eye on every doctrinal issue. And yet, there they are not held back by their differences in understanding of the minors, due to their obvious decision to major in the major that is the Grace Alternative.
The Grace Alternative being a great study all its own - it actually being the reemergence of one more, important, all encompassing distinction right up there with the other distinctions that reemerged prior to it, and that those together allowed the seeing of this one....
Turning out to have been a distinction many had been coming to where their leadership had not, it caused quite an uproar within some of those by then long since set in stone Mid-Acts camps, lol
Men! With our ever pressing need to be the last word on a thing, even as the quite ones within a flock will often see that "the emperor has no clothes..."
