All music to my ears! You’re exactly the kind of person I’m looking for.

I’ve been teaching at my church for about 7 years now. I don’t have a theology or history degree or anything; just a history buff/bibliophile obsessed with learning and educating people. I also have a weekly blog (link in the tag line) that I’ve been writing for three years. I’ve recently finished the manuscript for my first book but still looking for a publisher (it’s tough to get a yes!).

Since the response here was enthusiastic, I’ll try to find links to some of the past classes for everyone to see if they’re interested (not all of them got recorded).

I agree with your assessment of FR. I haven’t been real active here for a long time but never stopped lurking since I joined about 13 years ago. Sometimes it’s the only place where the world makes any sense lol.

Links to past lessons...I don't have them all but each one is about an hour. In case anyone's interested in what I've covered so far.

The Fall of a Kingdom (Focuses on Assyrian and Babylonian invasions, and fate of the Ark of the Covenant

The Birth of a Kingdom (Focuses on Archaeological Evidence for Saul, David, and Solomon)

These are all that's on YouTube: the rest were Facebook livestreamed by church members (you don't have to have a Facebook page to view them):

The Exodus

The Tower of Babel

The Flood and Noah's Ark

Thank you for the links...I am going to watch them as time permits.

You don’t come across as an amateur at all-which for all of us history buffs with no degree and a love of the subject, I suspect many of us would aspire to that level of skill.

I found your lecture extremely engaging. I was explaining the Dead Sea scrolls to my wife last night as you explained them, and I think she sometimes thinks I am as flighty as a bird...she seemed to think as she looked at me “What on earth got you interested in The Dead Sea scrolls???”

But anyway, thanks!

Thanks, will watch over the next week. I have one for you, here is one of our young Catechists doing a 5 minute talk on the parable of of the lamb. Thought you might enjoy seeing an evangelist in training. :) God bless.

Thank you, I’ll check it out! Five minutes...obviously a lot less long-winded than I am. Lol
