The last few minutes of the interview were the best. I'm not a fan of the concept or usage of the word doctrine, to many times doctrine is revised to the point it it surpasses in value of the truth in scripture it was meant to define. Leave truth as the truth, bare and raw as it was written, let it define itself with all the conjecture and discussions it brings. let it live, breath and move as it sees fit. God's word is alive, doctrine is not. it is far to easy to base our beliefs not in the word but doctrine, dead words of men and not the words of the spirit that God inspired men to write.
