Fascinating conversation. Dr. Pitre is a true Master of the Sacred Page. Can’t get enough of his incredible work. Thank you for interviewing him, Dr. Chapp.
Piercing insight gentlemen. Dr Pitre's 'Introduction to the OT', with Dr Bergsma, was a real turning point in my life - a tome I revisit each Lent. Pax Christi +.
Thankfully the skepticism of Christianity in the mid 20th century has turned into skepticism of the skeptics. Blessings to you Mr. Pitre for your willingness to recover the divinity of Jesus and help re-enchant the world with the mystery and authority of God.
I'm a Protestant, but Dr Pitre's book is the best book I have read in years on Historical Jesus/Christology/Christianity themes. I wanted to underline more than half of the book's prose. I may need to buy a second copy to have one unmarked, lol. I read Rudolph Bultmann early in my life, and its been a lifelong recovery from the hyper skepticism, of that kind of interpretation. I will be referring to it for years to come. I hope it gets a wide hearing and sells good. It's something that every skeptical Christian at least, should read. Thank you Larry for this interview as well.
Bart Erhman is a friend and colleague of mine at the University of North Carolina. Your comment, “Brant Pitre DESTROYED Bart Erhman,” hurts my heart. I wonder if it hurts Christ’s heart as well? 🕊
@@judygaleinchapelhill Though I disagree with Dr. Erhman on Catholic issues in the Bible such as the divinity of Jesus, I respect his universally accepted biblical scholarship. He has vigorously defended the historicity of Jesus in debates with atheists. I pray that sometime in the future he just as vigorously defends the divinity of Jesus.
1:05:25 “I’m not Dr. Phil” 😂😂 Seriously this is the best video I’ve seen on this topic. Great work fellas. Edit- Dr. Chapp’s sense of humor is killing me
This is an excellent video discussing Brant's excellent book. Definitely a "page turner." QUESTION: Which books by Martin Hengel are recommended on this topic, if any?
there is this rumor that's been going around since maybe 2300 years that the hebrews had lost their way. they lost the stories, texts, and rabbis to time and memories. Then finding themselves back in Judah after basically being thrown out of Babylon, discovered that what their grandparents told them about their history was lost to time, sand, occupation, and quite frankly better stories. As the rumor goes 80 or was it 70 people calling themselves rabbis (because there were no rabbis left) moved to Alexandria and learned greek. once they had a bit of a greek tongue were then able to ask the Greeks in Alexandria to help them write their story in greek, because is was so articulate and pliable. They were able to express in greek what they could never say in a lost and forgotten text. and, it seems the stories you are telling happened 300 years later. and it seems to be that the person you are referring to i.e., yesus, was a bit of a trickster/con. have you heard he planned his own death because he knew of an antidote for a drug he took before hanging on a tree? of course, it's a rumor just like everything else from 2000 years ago. I wonder if either one of you has heard about these stories. or, is this just more jealousy from people who don't agree with your understanding?

Glorious unity of beauty and logic reveals truth that harmonizes spirit and mind providing rest and peace. Thank you Dr. Pitre.
It’s been a long time since I saw a new video with Brant Pitre. I missed you!
Brant brings it alive.
This is a wonderful discussion of Dr. Pitre's work. Thank you.
Fantastic conversation, thank you.
I feel like this book is somehow the culmination of Prof Pitre’s many works.
Thanks be to God for both of you men!
Great interview... So great I ordered the book!

Pitre's book Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist is excellent.
This was so amazing and informative - I loved every minute of it. Thanks to you both!
I’ve been waiting for this book for a long time! Excited to finally read it.
Great interview. Important historical research.
Pitre is the man
Hello Brant. Good to see you again.

Brant Pitre is my personal hero.

For me, the transfiguration narrative is especially exciting with inciteful comments on why Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus.
❤❤❤

Hm, who can I trust? The one who laid down his life for me or the rumor mill? Gee that's a tough one.
