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.
All I can say is wow! We don't seem to know a whole lot about St Joseph but this just blew that out of the water! A scholarly and enlightening presentation at the same quality that we've come to expect from Brant Pitre!
A fabulous study in Saint Joseph. Biblical foundations for his role as King, Spouse etc. presented as golden nuggets of truth. Faith building
It was great, Dr. Pitre is a vault of knowlege and so easy to understand! 3 hours of talk about St. Joseph have gone by like it was 10 minutes!
The Jewish Roots of Holy Week: The 7 Last Days of Jesus and The Hidden King: The Jewish Roots of St. Joseph were an absolute masterpiece as explained by Dr. Pitre. When I took my family for dinner last week along with family friends, I mentioned to them about the two Dr. Pitre’s presentations since they are Catholic. I recommended that they check and explore the Catholic Productions website when they are not busy at work.
We will use it in two programs: Vacation Bible School for Adults - No Homework!!!, and for our evening program in the fall. As always thank you for sharing your blessings with us. CDJ, Raleigh, NC
