Brant Pitre is in a league of his own when it comes to his ability to interpret, teach, and apply the Scriptures in such a manageable amount of time. These videos are an incredible resource to me, and I frequently reference them when preparing to teach different lessons on the Bible. The engagement with church history and Biblical scholarship is remarkably impressive, and Pitre condenses that information so well. I highly recommend this!
Aside from it's excellent scholarship, Brant Pitre's work is also easy to read. This book is one of my go-to recommendations for my high school and college students who are wanting to understand more about Christianity from an apologetics perspective. Every Christian would benefit from giving this a read!
Dr. Pitre clearly explained the meaning of the text concerning the presence of Christ during and after the journey. I also like the Biblical understanding of who the two people were. One was Cleopas and the other was not necessarily a man. Dr. Pitre explains, it could have been his wife.
