These lectures are so rare and fills a void in our present culture. Thank you Michael Sugrue. You are making a difference.

You talk about the Pentecost around 10-minutes or so. the Pentecost story is one of my favorites in the new testament. When I first heard it I saw that it was an undoing of the Tower of Babel which was an eye-opening realization about the nature of the New Testament. Thank you for another good upload.

These lectures are rare KZfaq jewel. What a privilege to have them and thank you!

no visible notes - no power points - no paper boards - no irritating background music - just culture and learning distilled in a mind - a great mind speaking with clarity and simplicity of difficult concepts. Heaven!

I love Dr. Sugrue's lectures, they are so engaging and easy to digest.

I just want to say that Michael himself is the greatest reason why these lectures are so good. The way he delivers information and spins the story of any given thing he’s lecturing on grants the material a strange sort of cosmic significance that I haven’t seen in many other speakers. Whether he’s discussing Faust, Nietzche, Kierkegaard, or any other, he delivers the message in a way that illustrates the depth and beauty of humanities thoughts. Thank you Doctor.

I like all your video episodes I have watched. Just want to say good work and thank you, Dr Sugrue.

Thanks please keep posting these excellent lectures 🙏🏼☺️

Thanks for existing Michel Sugrue :'3

Great job. Will continue listening to these

Your knowledge and talent is incredible. Thank you for releasing your lectures.

Man I love these Lectures

Thank you.

I agree!!! Finally someone breaks everything down in a way modern intellectuals can understand easily

Thank You!

Thank you Prof.

Lovely again🌹

1:55 I thought Professor was about to drink that cup of water. LOL

This is lecture 7 of part 1

What happened to the whole series? Are you planning on uploading the whole thing?

I love these videos. It highlights how cleverly tailored the Bibles are. This does not mean the book is full of lies but it clearly had mortal hands writing them.

Many Thanks for uploading the lectures, Sir. I greatly appreciate it.

These lectures are truly incredible, thank you

I'm always looking for new interesting lectures on Psychology/Philosophy, please let me know if you guys have any recommendations, would be highly appreciated

I try to imagine taking notes for lectures like these and I have no idea how I would do it. Too slow...I would have to record it and re-view it multiple times. I suppose this is where the textbooks come into play

Genius

Thank you for the excellent series of lectures. Providing access to uninformed people like me to understand more of Bible's perspectives. 🤗

This stuff is intense

Great lecture. The universality of the message is one of the great hallmarks of the faith. Remember Jesus is the second Adam according to PAUL and the last Adam. He is recreating humanity or pushing the reset button on all humanity completely undoing the damage for by the first Adam.

Do you know about Michael Hauser?

Just epic.

It went from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to John, Paul, George and Ringo (the only Jew).

Before I start, let me guess, we are not sure if Luke wrote Luke and/or Acts right 🙄?

Or ... it could be seen as a cult (one of many at the time) that was leveraged to great effect by those with power and authority (e.g., Constantine). Sure did a number on making the masses love their servitude and pledge obedience!

What a gifted teacher! The only thing I slightly disagree with is the assertion of Luke ‘sugar coating’ aspects of early Christian teaching. The passion narrative must have been truly shocking & repugnant to Luke’s first readership

20:00 The Magi are only mentioned in Matthew, not Luke.

The Gospels are like if there were 4 different versions of Star Wars and they were all awesome.

Paul died before the sacking of Jerusalem at the hands of Nero in 64 AD it was presumed. Therefore wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that Acts was written between 60 and 70 AD?
