This is what all eucumenical conversations should be like: mutual respect between fellow brothers in Christ, trying to understand one another, without hiding our disagreements. Great interview!

Hi! I am a Catholic man and I love the faith. I love everything about it. I’ve watched your two videos in this study Bible and I appreciate your efforts in reviewing! Keep up the good work. As your brother in Christ, God bless you.

Baptist -> agnostic -> recent Catholic here and this conversation was so refreshing! Feeling encouraged to continue ecumenical discussions as well.

[TheEmmaLucille]

Thank you for this lovely conversation!

Good video. Thanks for having him on to give us catholics a fair exposition of our faith.

Love the depth of biblical literacy going on in this conversation. It is refreshing to hear nuanced ecumenical conversations with respect for diverse perspectives. Thanks 👍

I appreciate you honest and gracious reviews of Catholic Bibles. 😊

Thanks for having this ecumenical discussion. We need a lot more of this!

Great discussion, appreciate the respect in tone while not falling in the "we are all the same" oecumenism.

Hi JM ~ As a Protestant, I truly hope you continue to invite Christians of various traditions on your channel, as I believe most everyone enjoyed this episode IMMENSELY, and were blessed by it, as was I! I share your and Matthew’s approach and friendship, which helps tremendously when volunteering in our community, and maintain friendships with believers and non-believers alike. Also, this is a tremendous precedent and reminder in which we should conduct ourselves for Christmas, the Holiday Season, and throughout the remainder of the year! Looking forward to a new year full of such wonderful surprises and discussions!

Finally ~ I want to wish you, Matthew and your families a very…
🌟🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!🎄🌟

Many blessings!❤

This was a wonderful conversation, thanks for having Dr Thomas on. I really enjoyed the discussion.

What a beautiful and thoughtful conversation. Thank you both for sharing.

Thank you for both of your valued opinions and commentaries. I listened avidly and appreciate the blend of where you are both coming from. I am a Catholic RCIA teacher (the adult education needed to join the Catholic faith). I ordered the Ignatius Study Bible but have not received it yet. Can’t wait!

Just found this channel because of the review. What an awesome episode! May God continue to bless your ministry!

James, congrats on interviewing Matthew. I'm a 70 yr old Catholic who at 18 went to Protestant Bible studies for 5 years, even spent 2 months at French L'Abri among Francis Schaeffer disciples. I'd love to see you interview a proponent of Medjugorje, someone as articulate as your current guest. From my perspective, Jesus' mother Mary is a very cohesive, much needed influence, not only in the Church at large, but in the world today. Prophetic, motherly, pure and compassionate come to mind when I think of her. The congenial tone of your conversation with Matthew is so obviously beneficial in these days of division among the brethren. Detractors of Medjugorje may not have read Mirjana Soldo's 2016 book 'My Heart Will Triumph'. Thank You.

[shaulkramer]

what awonderful conversation, and we need more.

[daviddrake]

Very ecumenical and healthy. I owned the original New Testament version and just acquired the new version (0ld and New). Before I even finished this video, I order Christian Theology an Introduction and Paul's "Works of the Law" in the Perspective of Second-Century Reception

Thank you Both and Merry Christmas

Love this discussion! Can’t wait for mine to come in!
