Thank you Dr Brant Pitre for a most enlightening commentary.

[alwilliams]

You are awesome, Brant!! All of your explanations of Jewish history and scripture are excellent and highly instructive. Please keep it up, as you are currently one of the best Catholic theologians making videos on YouTube, and the Church today really needs your analysis and explanations of scripture and the Holy Faith!

[dmcdmc]

I am so glad I found you. As a former protestant new Catholic I am amazed how I never knew what I Know now. To be deep in history is to cease to be protestant. Thank you ...

[jamalama]

I would love to see Brant do a Bible study on the Book of Revelation. No one can explain complex issues of the Bible like he can and they don’t get any more compex than the Book of Revelation.

[ChristineCorey]

I can listen to Dr. Pitre unpack Scripture all. Day. Long!! Get this man his own show please!

[anthonyiannone]

What a great interpretation by Dr. Pitre; so much to learn, so little time. God Bless Brant!

[SaintCharbelMiracleworker]

The middle candle of the temple menorah is always called the "Servant" candle, it is always lit first and the other candles are lit from the Servant Candle only. This is why in Catholic Churches when you enter and look at the altar you will see 3 candles on either side of the crucifix.

[mweb]

Always entertaining and always right on in interpretations.

If you're interested...
Dr. Pitre has published a 3 video series; The Jewish Roots of St. Joseph; A Hidden King. WATCH IT!! I learned more about St. Joseph from the 1st video than I have in 27 years of Catholic Study...
I kid you not!
ALLELUIA!

[josephpotter]

Dr. I would love to see you engage in more apologetic work and dialogue with Protestants you work is very useful and I would like to see it be easier to get into the hands of Protestants

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

[jamesmonahan]

This is a tremendous help. Thank you Dr. Brant.
