How do Catholics view the Bible?

Leave a comment

I just received an email from someone asking for a copy of my recording of “Dei Verbum”, the document on Divine Revelation from the Second Vatican Council.

Pope Gospel

My blog seemed to be the easiest way to share them. Each of the chapters is in a separate MP3 file:

                                                                            
Chapter 1 (MP3)                        Chapter 2 (MP3)                        Chapter 3 (MP3)

                                                                            
Chapter 4 (MP3)                        Chapter 5 (MP3)                        Chapter 6 (MP3)

I hope these help you with your studies Alyson 🙂

The Gospels and language

Leave a comment

As we all know, theology always sounds better in an English accent. Below is a video of Dr. Peter Williams,Warden of Tyndale House, giving a lecture on the historicity of the Gospels.

In his lecture he looks at some of the details of the Gospels, such as names and places, and he does a little bit of statistical analysis.

“Theology and statistics?!” I hear you cry?

Wonderful,  isn’t it?

Enjoy.

Mark Hart

Just in case you’ve never encountered him, you should know about Mark Hart, “The Bible Geek”:

Mark Hart is the Vice President for LifeTeen, as well as being an author and speaker. A lot of his material is geared towards teenagers, but I’d say that his content is also perfect for adults.

Personally, I’m subscribed to his podcast “Sunday, Sunday, Sunday” which discusses the Sunday Mass Readings and it’s one of the resources I use it to help me to write my lectionary notes.

A nice conversation about killing small children

Last week at Theology On tap we had Cy Kellett spoke to us on “Voting Your Conscience” and during the Q&A he mentioned Peter Singer, the Professor of Bioethics at Princeton.

I wonder if some people present thought that Cy was exaggerating when he described some of the opinions held by this chap. Well, thanks to Aggie Catholics, I’d invite you to watch the video below without gasping in horror at some of the things said in his interview with Richard Dawkins…

 

(Unfortunately, this wasn’t the original video I shared – the one before had Dawkins praising Singer for being “the most moral person I know”)

If you watch the uncut version of the interview, Dawkins begins the interview with the accolade “Peter, I think you must be one of the most moral people in the world…”….wow…kyrie eleison.
