You Tube Theology

On Saturday 25 October, Father John Behr gave a lecture for the St Irenaeus Orthodox Theological Institute on his most recent book "In Accordance with the Scriptures".
In this lecture, Fr John Behr will explore the implications of the different material forms in which we have the Scriptures, whether as lectionary or as the Bible. Rather than thinking in terms of the Bible, with its timeline proceeding from Old Testament to New, what happens when we think of the Scriptures (what we now usually call the Old Testament) unveiled in the light of Christ and his Passion? What shape does Christian theology then take? This lecture will challenge many of our contemporary presuppositions but open up a space in which the Scriptures can be read meaningfully in the present to encounter Christ.
