Incredible depth and detail that opened up the Mass Readings for me.
Please please put it on a DVD..
Great introduction to the catechism. Left me wanting more. We need a explanation on every paragraph.

Have you ever felt like there’s no way God could ever love you? Maybe you know people with a very troubled past and a broken life who just can’t believe that Jesus loves them.
In this Bible study, Dr. Brant Pitre goes straight to the heart of the love of Christ by focusing on the powerful story of Jesus and the Samaritan Woman at the Well. As he shows, when we read this well-known story through ancient Jewish eyes, all of a sudden we realize that this is not just a story of Jesus’ mercy and forgiveness, but a powerful symbol of God’s love for sinners. In this Bible study you will learn:
• How Women, Wells, and Weddings go together in the Old Testament
• The history behind “Jacob’s Well” and why it is so significant that Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at this spot
• The deeper spiritual meaning of the Samaritan Woman’s 5 Husbands
• How the “Living Water” promised by Jesus is his true wedding gift to his bride, the Church
• How God loves us just the way we are, but too much to let us stay that way
• And lots more
Drawing from his book, Jesus the Bridegroom, Dr. Pitre shows how the story of Jesus and the Woman at the Well is good news that every sinner needs to hear.
On my list of talks to listen to. Just finished, Fire of the Tongue. Excellent.
Dr. Pitre has a way of telling us what scripture says with accuracy and knowledge! Love all of his studies and books!
Wonderful merging of Old Testament and New. Dr Pitre makes clear the only way to understand Scripture and Christ is to know both Old and New. Excellent talk.
If you have read this part of the bible and not understood its meaning (like me) then you'll really like this bible study. I think it works well as a start if you havent heard any other studies here on CP.
If you only got to listen to one, this one could be it.
