    Have you ever tried to read the Old Testament from start to finish and failed? Does reading it make you feel like you’re in a foreign land, where you don’t understand the language, the customs, the people, and places? If so, then you’re probably like many Christians, who would like to know more about the Old Testament, but who find when reading it that it is downright hard to understand.

    In this exciting Bible study, Dr. Brant Pitre takes you on a personal ‘guided tour’ of the essential people, places, and events in the Old Testament. Over the course of this journey, you will discover the basic keys that every Catholic needs to understand the Old Testament, as well as insights into important and controversial issues such as:

    The Origin of the Old Testament: How did we get the Old Testament, and why do different Christians have different books in their canons?

    Historical Reliability: Did the Exodus really happen, or is it a myth? Did King David exist, or has archeology proven him to be a legend? What about Genesis and the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob?

    Holy War and the “Dark Passages”: How should we understand the difficult parts of the Old Testament, such as its descriptions of polygamy and holy war?

    Typology: How are the persons, places, and events in the Old Testament fulfilled in the New Testament and the Catholic Church?

    Prophecies of the Messiah: What are the major prophecies of the Messiah in the Old Testament? How are they interpreted by Jews and Christians, and how are they fulfilled in Christ?

    The Seven Covenants: What are the seven major covenants of the Old Testament? And how do they reveal God’s plan for all humanity?


    In this course, Dr. Pitre’ goal is to give you the “big picture” of salvation history and typology in the old covenant. If you ever wanted to learn how the New Testament is concealed in the Old and the Old Testament is revealed in the New, then this is the Bible study for you.

The Old Testament

Last night I started listening to The Old Testament: A Historical and Theological Journey through Jewish Scripture. I simply love it! First, the quality of the recordings on MP3 format is very good. Also, the content is extremely good. Dr. Pitre is an excellent teacher and speaker. I was wondering if I could get a copy of the Study Guide.

Fly on the Wall Old Testament Study

I've listened to only the first three CDs. So far, the lectures are not dynamic. I have many Pitre videos and books, and am a fan of Dr. Pitre, but so far this series has not grabbed me. This is not a series I would present to our Ladies' Bible Study at church. I have another series (DVD) on the Old Testament from a different scholar that we are viewing which the Ladies like very much.
This study appears to be a formal class with students. They ask questions, which sometimes can be heard. (One fellow seems to monopolize the q & a time.) Dr. Pitre doesn't always repeat the questions. The listener hears Dr. Pitre writing on a chalkboard. So, yes, one feels like a "fly on the wall." This study tends to be in depth. If you want to know about "J", "E", "P", and "D", listen to this series. Personally, I think Dr. Pitre devoted too much time to these historical traditions.
I would suggest if one does not have a strong knowledge on the Bible, or at a minimum, a basic foundation, this series is too much.
I will complete the study (23 CDs), and if my mind changes, I'll submit another review.
