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.

The Fathers of the Church have called Scripture "love letters from God," but for many Catholics, that description doesn't fit the Old Testament. What is the meaning of all these tedious laws, ancient stories, and accounts of battles? How can it be God's Word for us today?
In this series of talks, Dr. Bergsma argues that the Old Testament presents a compelling message of one creator God who is constantly working to draw humanity into his love. This bond of love is called "covenant." As Dr. Bergsma works systematically through the most important books of the Old Testament, anticipation mounts as it becomes clearer and clearer that the Old Testament looks beyond itself to the coming of One who will offer to humanity a new and everlasting covenant.
This series of talks will be helpful to religion teachers, catechists, Bible study leaders, parents, and any Catholics who wish to understand the Bible better and share their Faith. Also available is the New Testament volume, building off of this Old Testament course.
Dr. John Bergsma, former Protestant minister, holds a doctorate in Scripture from the University of Notre Dame, and serves as Associate Professor of Theology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville.
I had these too sets before, but I gave them away as a gift. I had to buy them again.
Dr. Bergsma came to our parish in Texas years ago and presented the “Bible in an Hour”. I was blown away. I never do this, but I purchased several of his products for sale including this survey of the Old Testament. It took me years – but I have finally gotten through the whole thing. I plan to do it a second time as well. This is good stuff folks.
Dr Bergsma's products are great. This audio (a recording of a live college class) is geared to keep your attention and if full of amazing information. This is not my first time purchasing it. I bought this one as a gift for one of my students. <>
I’m still listening to the lectures (there are lot—it’s a full semester course), but so far, this is an absolutely astounding program. Dr. Bergsma is incredibly engaging, entertaining, and informative, even with just and audio file.
Sorry I can't review them. 14 days and they still haven't arrived. USPS tracking doesn't say when I can expect them.
Hello! I am sorry for the delay as the USPS has not been the most reliable as of late. It did update today that it left Everett, so hopefully it will not be much longer.
