    What is your image of St. Joseph? A poor, humble carpenter, or the hidden King of the Jews? An elderly widower, or a man in his prime, the chaste spouse of Mary? The mere legal guardian of the child Jesus, or the earthly shadow of the heavenly Father?

    In this series, Dr. Brant Pitre takes the popular figure of Saint Joseph and open up the mysteries of his hidden identity, his relationship with Mary, and his role as the earthly foster-father of Jesus. In it, you will learn about:

    • How Joseph was the Hidden King of the Jews
    • Why Joseph was a threat to the Fake King Herod
    • Why Herod Murdered his own Wife, three Sons, and the Infants in Bethlehem
    • Why Joseph Accepted of Mary’s Jewish Vow of Virginity
    • How Joseph Hid the Virgin Birth from Satan
    • Joseph’s Relation to the “Brothers” of Jesus
    • Apocryphal Legend of the Elderly Joseph
    • The Biblical Age of Saint Joseph
    • The Persecution of Joseph’s Family
    • How Joseph is the earthly Shadow of Jesus’ heavenly Father

    Many books on Saint Joseph focus on apocryphal legends and private revelations. In this Bible Study, Dr. Pitre focuses on what we can learn about Saint Joseph from the Bible, ancient Jewish and Roman history, and the living Tradition of the Church. As you will discover, although Joseph is silent in pages of the New Testament, when looked at through ancient Jewish eyes, he stands with Jesus and Mary at the very center of salvation history.

    So, if you already have a devotion to Joseph, or if you would like to deepen your relationship with him, or if you just want to understand what the Bible really teaches about the man who was closest to Jesus, then this Bible Study is for you.

Excellent

St. Joseph lecture- One of my favorite lectures I have purchased especially in the $30 price range. I really didn't know very much about St. Joseph. I see statues in Church, but he is barely mentioned in the Bible. This helped me see St. Joseph in a fresh light. Some of Dr. Pitre's points were mind-blowing, and I wanted to know even more after St. Joseph after listening to this lecture. I bought this one after buying the Jewish Roots of Christmas lecture. They really go well together. Definitely for those fans that love the "Jewish Roots" material.

THE HIDDEN KING - The Jewish Roots of St. Joseph

Dr. Pitre covers more about St. Joseph than I thought was possible and understandings about him that are surprisingly new to me. My going in thoughts of St. Joseph were that he was probably an old man, nobody of any importance, and maybe previously married with children of his own. But Dr. Pitre clearly points out from scripture a very different man. Also, Jesus was not the only threat to King Herod. St. Joseph was also a threat. I highly recommend THE HIDDEN KING.

The Jewish Roots of Christmas

My class of 19 absolutely loved it! Christmas will never be the same after watching. It is much more meaningful!

Great Study of St Joseph

I loved this study. I learned so much about St Joseph. Brant Pitre does such a good job explaining everything and using so many sources in the Bible, documented history and commentary from Church Fathers and the CCC. I'm showing it to my parish Adult Religious Ed program now during Advent. They are really loving it.

“The Hidden King” DVD set

Very enlightening! Loved being able to print the written overview. I am a visual/ tactile learner and the printout greatly helped me to follow, and focus on the material I was hearing. Another incredible pile of pieces in the most amazing puzzle! Just wow!
