The Old Testament can be known as a magnificent whole, yet often you encounter it mainly through worship readings that are limited in number and may be out of context. While they have value even then, their power to teach, inform and sustain faith only becomes greater when you, as a listener, become as well informed about them as you can be.

    *

    Solid information, well explained. Fr. Guinan is a little dry, but so is his wit.

  2. Fr. Gerry

    Very clear

    Very clear. Great insight into the life of Paul. One of the best I have come across. It is one of ones that I will listen to again and again.

  3. Richard C., Canada

    2018 Spring Survey

    Fr Guinan is an interesting lecturer. But I derived insights from his explanation of some biblical books and passages in his courses that I never heard before. He made the most sense of some passages of any I have listened to or studied.
