Do you ever get bored with the genealogies in the Bible?
Do you ever wonder why we have to bother reading them in Mass?
After this talk by Dr. Bergsma, you'll never sleep through the genealogy of Jesus again! St. Matthew has packed this list of ancestors with insights, apologetics, and even humor that most readers miss.
Continuing into the infancy narratives of Matthew 1-2, Dr. Bergsma reveals how Jesus draws together and fulfills three great promises of the Old Testament: the Seed of the Woman, the Seed of Abraham, and the Seed of David.
The Genesis of Jesus: Matthew 1-2
It is great to hear the lecture clean and clear. I cannot way until I play it Wednesday Night for my parish Bible study Group
The great thing about these small studies is that you get a never-ending amount of fascination and information from every single part of the Bible. Even genealogies! Dr. Bergsma does a great job showing how the first two chapters of the Gospel of Matthew prepares us for the messianic fulfillment in Christ.
I am very happy with the services I received from Catholic Productions. I look forward to using these materials in the lessons I do for RCIA,
