Who are Jim Jordan’s sources? It would obviously be fair to describe him as “innovative”, but it seems very much that there’s a chain where you have followed on from Peter Leithart, who followed on from Jim… but where did Jim learn his hermeneutic? Is he really so innovative an expositor that we can’t read what he’s read and see where he learned it all?
If you haven’t already done so, you should buy a copy of Jordan’s Through New Eyes!

Yes to Rabbi Fohrman at alephbeta.org!
I love the Christ-exalting, sin-hating, deep heart-and-head penetrating, systematic writings of the Puritans and their heirs. I love the rich web of textual interplays recognized (often subtly) by Chazal and their heirs. I love the missional energy of the Moravians and their heirs. I love God’s sovereignty over the profound insights that can be gleaned from liberal theologians even when they themselves don’t see the divine influence that weaves those observations together. And I love the fruit of cross-pollinization of otherwise siloed camps each of which has a legitimate but limited piece of the puzzle.
So I look forward to getting more familiar with Jordan since he seems to have his finger in a several different pies.
