Pastor Jeffery talks with CREC Pastor and translator Jan Prorok about his most recent project, J.B. Jordan’s Through New Eyes. They begin with some foundational theological and pastoral aspects of the doctrines of creation and revelation; sacramental ontology; and (mis)understandings of the doctrine of accommodation. They then pick up the thread of just one of many aspects of the symbolic worldview expounded in Jordan’s work, the Biblical theme of stars, and in the process take up the creation narrative; the promises to Abraham; Joseph’s dreams; the (im)morality and (im)maturity of the patriarchs; eschatology; the prophecies of Isaiah; the journey of the Magi; the book of Revelation; the fall of the Temple; and other topics.
