Strategies for Efficient Scholarship

Dr. Matthew Patton explored some strategies for efficient scholarship prior to his lectures in a Greystone module. We are pleased to present that lecture in its entirety below. Greystone is committed to excellence and efficiency in all areas of scholarship, and we pray that Dr. Patton’s considerations here would be of good service to the Church.

This lecture clip is taken from Jeremiah as Christian Scripture, a full course module with Dr. Matthew Patton. In the Reformed tradition we have a high view of the OT as Christian Scripture. We know that all of Scripture witnesses in a rich way to Christ, crucified and raised, and yet, some books are more challenging to read in this life-giving way than others. This course will build on ancient as well as recent insights into Christian hermeneutics in the pursuit of a sensitive, Christ-exalting, and edifying reading of the book of Jeremiah.
