Perhaps it was divine providence that Dr Sugrue uploaded so many of his lectures before his passing. Either way I am eternally grateful. Now...

These lectures are so rare and fills a void in our present culture. Thank you Michael Sugrue. You are making a difference.

[taraking]

no visible notes - no power points - no paper boards - no irritating background music - just culture and learning distilled in a mind - a great mind speaking with clarity and simplicity of difficult concepts. Heaven!

I wish we had the opportunity to have this gentleman discussing the Bible with Jordan Peterson. RIP professor Sugrue. May your memory be a blessing forever.

I love Dr. Sugrue's lectures, they are so engaging and easy to digest.

You talk about the Pentecost around 10-minutes or so. the Pentecost story is one of my favorites in the new testament. When I first heard it I saw that it was an undoing of the Tower of Babel which was an eye-opening realization about the nature of the New Testament. Thank you for another good upload.

I just want to say that Michael himself is the greatest reason why these lectures are so good. The way he delivers information and spins the story of any given thing he’s lecturing on grants the material a strange sort of cosmic significance that I haven’t seen in many other speakers. Whether he’s discussing Faust, Nietzche, Kierkegaard, or any other, he delivers the message in a way that illustrates the depth and beauty of humanities thoughts. Thank you Doctor.

Your knowledge and talent is incredible. Thank you for releasing your lectures.

I agree!!! Finally someone breaks everything down in a way modern intellectuals can understand easily

[noscap]

These lectures are truly incredible, thank you

[MrBernardthecow]

I love these videos. It highlights how cleverly tailored the Bibles are. This does not mean the book is full of lies but it clearly had mortal hands writing them.

[bendolbetul]

Thank you for the excellent series of lectures.
Providing access to uninformed people like me to understand more of Bible's perspectives. 🤗
