About Gospel Simplicity:
Gospel Simplicity began as a TH-cam channel in a Moody Bible Institute dorm. It was born out of the central conviction that the gospel is really good news, and I wanted to share that with as many people as possible. The channel has grown and changed over time, but that central conviction has never changed. Today, we make content around biblical and theological topics, often interacting with people from across the Christian tradition with the hope of seeking greater unity and introducing people to the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel, the good news about Jesus.
About the host:
Austin Suggs holds a BA in Theology from Moody Bible Institute and is currently pursuing an MA in Liberal Arts with a focus in Theology and Philosophy from St. John's College, Annapolis. He has served in the local church in a number of ways, including as a full-time staff member,, teacher, church planter, and more. Today, he resides outside of Baltimore with his wife Eliza.

Seraphim is a brilliant Orthodox theologian. I am looking forward to this! ☦️🔥🔥
You are such a good interviewer. You always listen carefully and ask questions that are completely on topic. You really know how to get your guest to talk about what they know best, without putting yourself in the spotlight.
Thank you so much! That's my goal
Seraphim Hamilton was one of the persons that strengthen my faith before I was baptized. The way he explain the narrative of the Bible is amazing and beautiful.
I'm praying for this guy with the cap. He is still protesting.
😂ok
I'm praying for Both, they are both protesting. Great interview though
What a waste. Who cares if his theology doesn't exactly yours. Do you think Jesus, a Jew, would judge him over what you think he should be
What do you mean" Jesus, a jew"@@remshot1998
I will go ahead and pray for everybody else. Your welcome.
Great to see Seraphim coming on!
It was great having him back on. Came across your channel the other day by the way. Great stuff!
@@GospelSimplicity Oh thanks Austin. I've enjoyed your channel for many years now and your ministry is in my prayers
This is a great discussion. Too many Evangelicals have been robbed of the power and beauty that lies within utilizing typology because they’ve been wrongly informed that the historical-grammatical method is the only authentic method of interpretation. Thankfully, it’s not. They’re literally taught that they are not supposed to interpret the Bible in the same way that Jesus and Paul did, that is, by finding Jesus in the text. It’s bizarre, and sad.
Recently a group at our parish have started a bible study series using the lecture series from the Augustine Institute presented by Dr. Tim Gray. Dr Gray shows the deep, clear, and concise reality of Christ in the Old Testament, and it's connection with the New testament. This has given me a great appreciation for what St. Augustine said " The new is hidden in the old, and the Old is revealed in the New". This has really opened my eyes to things in scripture I have never seen before. Amazing and beautiful!!!
Glad that seeing Christ in the OT has been impactful for you!
Amazing conversation. I can honestly say that since I've become Catholic, I love the Scripture more and more. And I'm just an ordinary joe with nowhere near the knowledge or expertise of either of these two Brothers. So appreciated learning from you!
Very excited to see Seraphim here, he's a true pride and joy of the Orthodox faithful. Keep up the awesome work both of you!

Protestant here: The discussion around the nature of reality and the structure of Scripture around 45:00 is so enlightening. Seraphim’s insistence that recurrent patterns, themes, plots, numbers, dates etc. reflect not just literary devices added in to buttress small context truths but a broader, deeper involvement on the part of God in the very fabric of reality. To the careful observer many these patterns can easily be seen even outside of Scripure.
Definitely a fascinating part!
Was meant to go to sleep 30 min ago but stayed up for this excited
I know I will like this talk because of Austin's gentleness of heart, thought and speech. Jesus works in perfect harmony with minds like Austin's.
Very kind! Thank you
Wow... Seraphim, you are a BOSS!! Huge respect from your Byzantine Catholic older brother.
This was very good. Seraphim is a great explainer!
He really is!
Wonderful! Was just wondering if you would have Seraphim Hamilton on again before too long
Outstanding contribution, thanks guys, awe inspiring motivation to see the Christ world
Excited for this.
Can’t wait to watch this full video
Really excellent
Love it, thanks
Ok, I mean this in the most complimentary way, but I need to slow down the playback speed. This is concentrated info coming at me faster than I can digest
Abraham knew and loved the Triune God. The Orthodox Church is Christ's church!
while he was talking about the sons of israel i had some thoughts:
i don't think it's controversial to say the apostles correlate to the sons of israel
Benjamin is beloved by israel and so too John was beloved, israel was protective if benjamin and did not want him to die so too John was given long life rather than martyrdom
joseph received the double blessing, so too the church in rome was founded on the double foundation of the blessed apostles peter and paul
i would bet there is more here too this is just off hand thoughts
Does using a more dynamic translation of the Bible obscure some or a lot of these connections? I’ll sometimes read the CSB or the 1966 Jerusalem Bible.
Get an Orthodox study Bible! And visit an Orthodox church, the Liturgy is sufficient education in itself.
Hit that subscribe button so it doesn't sit in 666. Haha God bless. Great video.
I find it interesting how you kicked the convo off, with the Pilate-esque questìon of "what is truth?" Particularly in the light of your most recent videos claiming truth not being self evident when seeking for it for conversion purposes.
You don't have to convert, brother, no one is forcing you to. I just hope you are not trying to reason yourself out of it with subjectivity and a forced ambiguity, I can't see that doing your epistemology, anything but a disservice.
Thanks for the feedback! Questions of epistemology have certainly been on my mind, but I thought locating the meaning of a text was important for this conversation, because if you say meaning is solely in the author's intent (which many today do) then it becomes very difficult to get this conversation off the ground, seeing as most would say that it's hard for the author's to be thinking about Jesus before he was incarnate.
What he is doing isn't very cutting edge. If you have read any of Brevard Childs, Sailhammer, Bruegemann, Bible Project,literary criticism, and seeing repeating themes in Scripture, isn't new, nor does it lead to Eastern Orthodoxy
Austin, buddy, this isn't a matter of the faith or anything, I just want to let you know about something that makes me click away from your videos sometimes. And I don't know if it's something you can even change, but if you can, it'll serve you well.
Your speaking voice isn't well supported with breath, and it sometimes has a distracting weakness to it. And look, man, I realize that this is, in fact, a _me_ problem. Like when I get irritated at noisy eaters; they're just living their best lives, and here I am getting worked up about it 😅
Anyway, please don't be offended, and maybe consider yelling all the time like a Puerto Rican 🙏
Not my experience of his voice at all.
@@toddvoss52 I'm glad to hear that 🙏
I've no doubt that, under divine inspiration, the authors of the Old Testament, knowingly or not, included several presages and prefigurations of Jesus as the Messiah, the Christ. Genesis 2, however, was written by a different set of authors and centuries after Genesis 1, which already contains (a much superior) account of the creation of human beings, of humanity. We also know that what we call the Old Testament had been edited and re-edited by different sets of people over a period of centuries *before* 1st century AD. It speaks poorly of their resoect for truth that our theologians continue to approach the Bible as though the historical scholarship of the past 200 years did not take place and did not exist.
We don’t “know” these things you mention as definitive facts like we know other empirical facts that can be tested. They are plausible speculations /explanations. The science of biblical criticism is a rather soft science. Let’s not be “spell bound “ as Wittgenstein might say, by a certain era’s academic consensus.
