Thank you for this talk. I've heard the charge of interpretive maximalism lodged against Dr. Jordan's work and have wondered about its validity. This series will surely be helpful in guarding my own Bible studies from falling off some interpretive cliff.
The presentation here was too abstract to be helpful. If someone possesses enough hermeneutical knowledge to follow along, then they have already made decisions about their interpretive limits and boundaries. If someone is searching for those limits and boundaries, the lack of concrete application here will not help them understand any better. You would be better served by taking all of the “dangers” listed, and then giving concrete examples of what it looks like to fall into that danger, versus what it looks like to stay within guardrails. Even on the one solid example you used- priest garments and days of creation- it was not clear whether you were detailing a warranted or unwarranted set of connections. It sounded as if you were saying all connections to all days were all warranted in their own way, so pick and choose at will.
I am from Venezuela, I now read Matthew and I had not understood it so deeply since I discovered your material.
