- Which comes first: the Bible or Tradition? What are the foundations of Orthodox doctrine? How did the earliest Christians view the relation between Scripture and Christian teaching?
To address these important questions, Aletheia is delighted to welcome back international guest speaker Fr John Behr. His talk will look closely at the work of St Irenaeus of Lyons (130-202 AD), who was one of the earliest Christian authors to explore and explain the relationship between Scripture, Tradition and the Canon or the Rule of Truth. His texts became foundational for Christianity and Christian theology thereafter, and are ones to which we must continually return as we grapple with the new questions put to us today.
Fr John Behr is Professor of Patristics at St Vladimir's Orthodox Seminary, teaching courses in patristics, dogmatics and scriptural exegesis at the seminary, and also at Fordham University, where he is the Distinguished Lecturer in Patristics.

“You search the scriptures because in them you think you have eternal life. But they testify of Me, but you do not come to me.” It’s all about the Lord Jesus. All glory to Him.
Amen
Thank you so much for uploading this! Father John Behr is a treasure.
Bless us Father John. I'm sure you may never see this but thank you for opening the Scriptures and handing down the Tradition, the Way. Yeshua Christos.
Thank you for blessing us Father John.
Wow. What a brilliant lecture this is! I did not know Fr. John Behr was such a brilliant communicator!
indeed, also the question asking is such a great public speaking tip
Prob the best teacher alive today, Orthodox, Protestant, Catholic alike!
Mind blown. What a great talk!
Very helpful!
Christ is risen!
its a shame how the audience really doesnt seem to get anything what amazing things are spoken
That is probably why he is teaching them
It is an ordinary congregation. probably Coptic.
Marker 1:02:16 Also, they have the Holy Spirit dwelling in their hearts guiding, teaching and counseling them-revealing the truths of scripture and the events they experienced.
AWESOME POINT WELL MADE
to 'unveil' to remove the cover. brilliant
The revelation (uncovering) that comes from the Scripture through the anointing (1 John 2:27) that is within versus the creation of it on the outside through symbolisms and sacraments. So people who don’t get by revelation within, get it from the outside to the inside. It seems like!
If Christ had to open up the Scriptures for people to see the Messiah, then how could the Israelites in the Old Covenant be saved? I thought for the a long time that they had to have faith in a future messiah (even though it wasn’t as clear as it was for us) to be saved (and Scripture was sufficient in pointing them Christ). So without Christ opening up the Scriptures for them were they just destined for hell or saved in another way? This is a genuine question.
why does it say "atheism and universe" on the screen?
Beware. All that glitters is not gold.
Why omit "for our sins" from the 1 Corinthians 15 quote about Christ having died? There seems to be modernist Eastern Orthodox resistance to that truth of Christ's sacrifice.
Stop reading ill will into things you know nothing about
@@phlebas9204 Not sure if I recommended this one, but hope it proved interesting.
@@anselman3156Or you’re an uncharitable person with a hermeneutic of suspicion which keeps you trapped in your delusions and biases.
@@bman5257 I've just listened to lots of online Eastern Orthodox who denigrate the Biblical truth of Christ's sacrifice, which naturally makes me sensitive to the omission of crucial words (no pun intended).
One wonders why it should be so bewilderingly complicated. Imagine that you are a first century Jew who has not encountered the risen Christ: how are you going think about Christian claims that Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, was/is the Messiah? You are going to think that they are obviously mistaken and probably persecute them. It was thus inevitable that the Jews would reject Christ- at least those who had not encountered the risen lord.
It was foretold in the Scriptures. Pharisees and Sadducees preferred not to listen for political reasons. but ordinary fishermen and so on listened..
He actually was accepted by a LOT of Jews. In fact, many Palestinians today have DNA that shows they are from that region for at least since the Canaanites. Which would indicate their ancestors were Jews who converted to Christ and their faith was more important than their "jewishness"
As Christ makes clear in the gospels if they knew the Father, they would know Him.
@@bellingdogthis makes no sense. Christ was the fulfilment of their Jewishness. Converting to Christ as a method of moving away from their Judaism would have made no sense to them
Why are some people so preoccupied with these 'chrch Fathers'! Jude, Jesus half brother said way back in 55AD "THE FAITH WAS DELIVERED ONCE FOR ALL TIME TO THE SAINTS" ( Jude 3) That being the case nearly all the apostles in thier epistles WARNED the brothers that there would arise in the congregations, clever men who would corrupt the true teachings & draew away discples after themselves' Please read Acts 20:28-30. I ttim 4:1,2. 2 Peter 2:1-3. 1 John 4:1. Sadly most 'orthodox' teachings fulfill these warnings!

The questioning is redundant and a poor oratory tactic.
Yes, kinda annoying
People who aren’t you also exist, and are in the audience answering
