Customer Reviews
Brings clarity to difficult OT passages
Finally, a Catholic theologian, other than Scott Hahn, who isn’t scared silly of the difficult passages of the Old Testament. The majority of Catholic priests religiously avoid preaching anything about the Old Testament or the Psalms because those readings don’t fit neatly into the trite “just be nice to everyone” sermon. Today’s episode really could be said to be a reading of the Old Testament based on the revelations of the New Testament. Well done.
Truly a Blessing
Listening to these reflections each day has enriched my understanding of scripture. There is a lot of clarity provided, which I feel is difficult to find in our culture. I also appreciate the fact that historical, biblical roots are discussed. My spirit rejoices! Thanks be to God!
It’s all True!
Thank you to Fr. Harold for the most inspiring and enlightening episode I have heard in the years since subscribing! What an amazing feat of tying today’s literature and entertainment with our faith.
