Critic reviews

"An excellent way to understand the importance of the land in the development of the Chosen People and of Jesus' Mission. Donald Senior presents with clarity and this presentation is enhanced with summary of points made." (Hubert Williams)

Great book and tour through the Holy Land!

Absolutely loved it and the narration was very good. Great tour of the Holy Land.

Wow!

Fr. Senior is clearly one of the world's great New Testament scholars. In this series, he draws both from his scholarship and his decades of experience leading pilgrimage tours to the Holy Land. He has a very deep sense for the places lived and experienced by Jesus and his followers and a knack for making them come alive through his lectures. I have listened to many excellent Learn25 titles and give this one my highest recommendation.

Interesting perspective

To have an image in the mind of the landscape where Jesus lived and ministered really helped me to better understand and engage more deeply with the gospels. Mr. Senior is a very knowledgeable guide both to the physical environs as well as their historical and cultural significance. As a quick and simple Google search will reveal, the author is indeed a Catholic priest, so if that bothers you, then obviously this is probably not a book for you. I am a Lutheran and I see nothing particularly Catholic about these lectures as he focuses on archaeology, cultural anthropology/geography, history etc. Indeed, there is little explicitly religious content at all, and I imagine even interested non-Christians could listen and learn a lot from this well-made and informative course.
