Unraveling one of the most interesting aspects of our faith, Fr. John Ezratty delves into the work of grace in our souls and our role in cooperating. Does God just make us saints? Or do we make ourselves saints? Fr. John shows how both God's work and ours are necessary for our salvation. He also unmasks common errors and pitfalls in Christian thought with regard to the work of God's grace in our souls.

In this talk, Dr. Lawrence Feingold explains what Divine Revelation is and how it takes place. The Catholic faith stands out because at its center is God revealing Himself to us! This fundamental fact of the faith is masterfully explained in this talk and incorrect ideas of Divine Revelation are also exposed.
Dr. Feingold also begins to unravel the topic of the inspiration of Scripture. What role does God play in the writing of Sacred Scripture? What place do the human authors have and can they truly be called authors of the Bible? These questions, and many more, are answered!

Dr. Lawrence Feingold talks about the list of inspired books, called the canon, that make up our Catholic Bible. He looks at where the canon of books came from and when it was officially approved by the Church. He also compares and contrasts it with different canons that are used outside the Catholic Church. He goes on to show the relationship between Scripture and Tradition in our Faith.
He also covers the principles of interpretation of Sacred Scripture. These are the guidelines the Church sets out to help the faithful properly understand the Bible, in this way ensuring that it leads to our spiritual enrichment.

In this talk, Dr. Lawrence Feingold delves into the topic of biblical inerrancy. Does Scripture contain passages or statements that are not true? Is everything that is mentioned in the Bible 100% historically accurate? Do we have to understand every word and phrase completely literally in Sacred Scripture? These are the kinds of questions that Dr. Feingold navigates as he explains the Catholic understanding of the inerrancy of Scripture. He also contrasts it to some incorrect ways of explaining the truth contained in the Bible.

Only in a writing authored by God can a historical event be a foreshadowing of a future event. Since the Bible has God as it’s primary author, this takes place quite often in Sacred Scripture and it is called typology. In this talk, Dr. Lawrence Feingold starts explaining the topic of Biblical Typology and he lays a foundation by explaining the different senses of interpreting Sacred Scripture following St. Thomas Aquinas.
