Christine Ferguson Verified Buyer
I enjoy Dr. Bergsma's sense of humor! He's relaxed and confident in his lectures. He tosses out ideas which helps the listener remember, like who in the Bible had a "cameo" appearance but has more notoriety than other characters who have whole chapters written about them? If you want a general understanding of why we have priests today, buy…, listen, and learn.

    To many American Christians, the priesthood and the Sacrament of Holy Orders is just another of the many "unbiblical" aspects of Roman Catholicism. The Catholic Church, the argument goes, has corrupted the true equality of Christians, who ought to share the "Priesthood of All Believers."

    How should Catholics respond? In this series of talks, Dr. Bergsma traces the theme of priesthood from Genesis to the Gospels, explaining along the way the biblical roles of the priest, the difference between the common and ministerial priesthoods, and the proper understanding of the phrase, "Priesthood of All Believers."
