Name somebody that walks You Through the Bible that is better than Les feldick. I think it depends on your theological background and beliefs. I find it very hard to believe that you have any Bible teacher that is more biblical than Les feldick who would disagree with him about much. I listen to every single episode of Les Feldick two times. There are a few things I disagree with him on but he is biblically solid in most areas.
Well, discussing which bible teacher is "better" or "best" or whatever is a bit like discussing which quarterback is "the best" in football. Simple personal preference is no small factor. Les appeals more to an older audience, not because of his content but because of his pacing and style. I mean the man uses a real chalk board. That's as old school as it gets, right?
Of course, his actual content will also have an impact on who finds him to be a good teacher. His doctrine is sufficiently different than what is typically found on Christian television that it's something of a minor miracle that his show has was ever on the air at all, much less for the decades that it's been airing.
Imagine the reaction someone from a high energy charismatic church would have to Les Feldick's show. They'd not be able to tolerate it for any length of time at all and would declare him the worst bible teach that's ever opened a bible and wonder what in the world the TV execs are thinking having him on their air.
If one wants to make an objective evaluation, all one can really do is to look at his doctrine. On that basis, he's an absolute giant, towering over anyone that I can think of who airs on Christian television. Bob Enyart's TV show was much more entertaining but it wasn't about teaching the bible, it was about political and social commentary and it's been off the air for decades now. Les' show has stood the test of time, I think primarily due to the strength of his doctrine and I think that's true in spite of several important doctrinal shortcomings, which just goes to show you how pitifully poor the doctrine is on practically the whole rest of what you see on Christian television. It's so bad that it's worse than a waste of time, it will actually do your spiritual life harm to watch it.
So, the answer to the question, "Who the best bible teacher?" depends on one's criteria. If you're talking about who's the best bible teacher
on television, then I'd say that Les wins that contest. If your criteria is doctrine then Les is very good, indeed better than most, but definitely not the best.
I explain why in
