\"\"Yesterday was the Feast of St. Lawrence<\/a>, so to mark this occasion I thought I would give a quick “tip of the hat” to another Lawrence, Dr. Lawrence Feingold<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, I’ve never actually met<\/em> Dr. Feingold, but I have<\/em> heard many of his talks and they’ve all been, without exception, brilliant. He comes across as unassuming, yet he clearly knows his stuff and is genuinely excited by the material he’s presenting.<\/p>\n

I can’t recall exactly how it came about, but towards the end of 2009 I followed a hyperlink that took me to the website belonging to\u00a0The Association of Hebrew Catholics<\/a>. On that website\u00a0I found the first couple of lectures by Dr. Feingold in his series “Themes of the Early Church Fathers<\/a>“. I liked his tone and style immediately. At that time I had just started to discover these early Christian writers and Dr. Feingold’s series was a superb\u00a0catalyst in helping\u00a0familiarize me with the Early Church.<\/p>\n

After working my way through that collection of talks, I began going through his complete back catalog<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Themes of Salvation History<\/a>
\nThemes of Faith<\/a>
\nThemes of the Kingdom<\/a>
\nThemes of St. Paul<\/a>
\nThemes of the Early Church Fathers<\/a>
\nThemes of the Incarnation<\/a>
\nMary, Daughter of Zion, Mother of God<\/a>
\nMan: Made in God’s Image<\/a>
\nSacrament of Holy Orders and the Ministerial Priesthood<\/a><\/p>\n

This was around the time I was living in London and waiting for a visa to return to the USA. Each day I made a trip to the gym and several times a week I would make the hour-long journey across the city for my ballroom classes. This gave me substantial periods of time in which to listen to all these talks on my iPod. Because of this intense regime of listening, I made rapid progress through his talks and I even started picking up some of his\u00a0mannerisms, no? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

All of his talks are superb, but I am particularly fond of\u00a0Themes of Salvation History<\/a> since it helped to ground my understanding of the Messiah and the relationship between the Old and New Testaments. I also found his talks on Mary really helpful since I have often struggled somewhat with Marian theology.<\/p>\n

So, there you go. He’s a superb speaker and teacher and he should be known more widely. Happy listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
