So I wanted to wrap up a few more thoughts I mentioned in my last post, but at the request of the TS bloggers, I put them over at the Juvenile Instructor. So you can check them out over there. One on BH Roberts’s problematic claims of Platonism corrupting Christianity, another noting problems with Stephen Webb talking about that issue, and finally one highlighting the endowment as indicative that JS was seeking to restore what he believed was LOST to the Bible, rather than focusing on biblical practice itself. Greek mystery rites were very important to the concept of the ancient theology.

Thanks, Stephen. They’re all interesting posts (that would have worked here too, although they may be too deep into the weeds of Platonism for most readers to follow). I had heard of Webb’s book, but didn’t know much about it.
Yes, that was probably too simple of an explanation and my interpreting information second hand. This is how I thought of wrapping up these themes for the present time. I may pitch some related ideas to you all at a future time.
For now, I’ll move onto other topics.
I enjoyed this topic!
Thanks, Bart!
