Hellenization, Part 2

In “Hellenization,” we discussed Jack at Sigma Frame’s embrace of Radix Fidem and Greek-inspired (Hellenistic) pagan mysticism. We contrasted this with Jesus’ mind-focused teaching in the Shema, the Greatest Commandment. We also pointed out that sola scriptura—the ultimate and final authority of the written Word of God—is mutually incompatible with any …
