In this new episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. John Bergsma is joined by Dr. Gary Rendsburg.

Dr. Rendsburg is the Professor of Jewish Studies at Rutgers University—renowned in Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish circles for his work in Old Testament linguistics and literary studies.

In their conversation, you’ll discover:

-The value of studying the Bible today, even if you’re not a believer

-Why Judaism was able to survive the destruction of the Temple

-What Catholics should know about Judaism when studying the Bible

-And so much more!

This episode is an excellent overview of the state of academic biblical studies with two of today’s most highly respected Old Testament scholars. Even if you aren’t an academic, you’ll find much to fuel your own biblical studies here.

Dr. Bergsma sits down with Fr. Pablo Gadenz to discuss who St. Luke really was, and how Fr. Gadenz shaped Dr. Bergsma's view on the matter.

The so-called “deuterocanonical” books of the Catholic Old Testament include Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1 Maccabees, and 2 Maccabees. But what makes a book deuterocanonical? How did these books become part of the Scriptural canon in the first place?

In this short-form episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. John Bergsma addresses three common misconceptions about the Deuterocanonical books and the Old Testament Biblical canon.

If you’ve ever heard of the “Alexandrian canon,” wanted to learn more about the Septuagint, or wondered why Catholic Bibles are bigger, this episode of Stunned by Scripture is for you.

In this new episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. John Bergsma sits down with friend, confirmation sponsor, and fellow theologian Dr. Michael Dauphinais. From a range of emotions to serious and sincere conversation, the two discuss the pursuit of truth as it relates to both Thomas Aquinas and Sacred Scripture.

Dauphinais shares the powerful story of his journey home to the Catholic Church and what led him to the study of theology.

Further, through a guided conversation, Bergsma and Dauphinais also explore the place of Sacred Scripture in the Church, Aquinas' Summa Theologica, and the role of the theologian in our modern age.

Join us for an intense and unforgettable conversation you won't want to miss.
