The Right Way to Read Holy Scripture (Dr. John Bergsma) | Ep. 509

In this episode of Pints With Aquinas, Matt Fradd interviews Dr. John Bergsma about the Bible, particularly the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, for which Dr. Bergsma wrote the notes on Ezekiel. They discuss the Catholic view of Scripture as God's invitation to become part of His family, the importance of understanding the Bible's narrative arc, and the significance of the Eucharist as the New Covenant. Dr. Bergsma shares his journey from evangelical Protestantism to Catholicism, highlighting the richness and depth that the Catholic faith brings to understanding Scripture. The conversation also covers the Vatican II lectionary, the covenants in the Old Testament, and practical advice for reading the Bible, as well as answering questions from supporters on reading the Bible chronologically and how to explain the Deuterocanonical books to Protestants.
