Every detail matters: Extended Bible Roundtable

Why does The Chosen go to such lengths to not “whitewash” Jesus? In this extended, full-length Bible Roundtable, an evangelical professor, Messianic Jewish rabbi, and Catholic bishop dive deep into the importance of Jesus’ Jewish background. They’ll help you understand why Jews and Samaritans had different scriptures, why John called Mary “mother,” the significance of Shiva, and much more.

Always love seeing Bishop Robert Barron. He is such a wise man, and explains things so well. Love his channel word on fire.

The Chosen is carefully blending knowledge from different faiths into a beautiful, Biblically-based story that brings fuller understanding to millions. A united Church, the Bride of Christ, is being heard. Miracles are happening! ❤🌻

[marygrajeda]

I just love these talks. Thank you for showing in these talks that we all as a people are better together ❤️. Great

[fourwinds]

Wonderful! I hope you continue to do these and I echo comments the low I would like to see more. This discussion for example with primarily about episode one and I'd like to hear about all the other episodes too! Thank you ! Praise the Lord 🙌🙌🙌❤️🙌🙌🙌

0:45 "saying I wanta now start practising these Jewish traditions . . . )
Seventh Day Adventists observe the Sabbath on Saturday and put a lot of emphasis on studying books of the Jewish Bible (the OT) that some of my Evangelical friends tend to question the need for.

I absolutely love these round tables with these wise men of God! It's meaty, theological, yet simple enough to understand and enjoy! Good spiritual food! Thanks! Keep 'em coming!

[myradonnelly]

So enjoyable to hear scholars from different traditions give us their wisdom on the historical, traditional and theological perspectives of the Old and New Testaments. Thank you.

[kittykaylington]

Thank you for including Bishop Barron. We are thankful for his voice.

[judyhumphrey]

And Jonathan's portrayal of Jesus, is the most real & powerful & beautiful I've ever seen. Bless you all so much.

[joannoble]

Thank you, Bishop Baron. You have meant so much to me.

[loiss]

It's so good to see this group of people together in dialogue and giving their perspectives. Glad to see Bishop Baron as a participant. Would love to see more of these group discussions. I love The Chosen. God bless all who are creating and supporting it!

[Marisa]

Liked Bishop Barrón, he explains our way of thinking so accurately

[dawnmason]

Yeah !! This is great !! Bishop baron - good to see all the faiths coming together!!!💜💜💙💙we are all brothers& sisters in christ.🌈🌈🌈

[angelstringsministry]

Love the round table! I am an ordained pastor with an M.Div. and the background of the shows means a lot to me. And, by the way, it would be amazing to have a book in the Chosen store that highlights the Jewish prayers and practices that Jesus does in the series/would’ve lived as a historical Jew….I believe these are practices that we Christians could benefit from implementing in our own lives….and you could highlight these by episode so that we can “see” them referenced in action too. Please and thank you!!❤❤❤

[slavicgypsy]

Sigh. Being raised Catholic the first thing you did when you got out of bed was get on your knees and say your prayers. You said Grace at Meal Time and you say the rosary in the evening with your family.

Saying that evangelicals got away from that rigidity? It wasn't rigidity, it was devoutness and humility and it still is.

[sherryslr]

I love these roundtable discussions almost as much as I do "The Chosen."

[Navygrl]

Thank you Bishop Barron for defending the Catholic faith! It’s good to see you at the roundtable interacting with everyone else! This was a pleasure to watch!

[Slacker_Elizabeth]

I LOVED THIS!! Do this AGAIN with each season and standout scenes, you should discuss it hermeneutically and exegetically just like this!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[TheSean]

How can anyone who loves Jesus not enjoy a conversation such as this?
- A Catholic Brother to ALL my brothers and sisters!

P.S. Thank you, Chosen Crew, for working so hard to make each episode SO powerful!

[patriciaw]

I love this episode precisely for the beginning and the end. So inspired to synchronize the beginning of Scripture and the beginning of John’s gospel. I watch it over and over.
