    Don't worry. There won't be music all the time now. It's ok. Have a cookie.

    over last 7-8 years, had checked many times on line to see if Dr. Reeves had passed away, last week bought his book about how we got the Bible , and now this, very pleased.

    Welcome back please start making videos again. Your channel and C.S. Lewis/J.R.R. Tolkien series first sparked my interest in, got me to consider being open minded to Christianity 4-5 years ago. Thank you.
  • As a security guard who works at a gallery that shows Rembrandt this makes it all the more interesting.
  • @BaileyJPope
    I've never looked at an art piece in such depth before, not even my college humanities professor went half as far as this. Good to have you back.

  • @TheLookingGlassAU
    My favourite Rembrandt is the painting of Jeremiah. And i loved your excursion into Michaelangelo's The Pieta

    From a Traditionalist & a fellow, L.W. Highlander, Thank You! I have learned a lot and so happy you are back. Your teaching on the Apostolic Fathers in the early Catholic Church and so much more has been phenomenal. It is fitting you have the story of the Prodigal Son.
  • @randyspiars3965
    I was so pleased to see that you are back. I love Christian history. I watched it and then watched it again with my wife (who is a Christian artist painting and photography). She also really enjoyed this video. We both just ask that next time the music is turned down compared to your voice. It got distracting but THANK YOU so much and we look forward to your future work.

    I'm so happy you are back. Your videos on the early Church inspired me and changed my view on things. Ever since I've been reading books on Church history and devouring the information, and fell in love with the Church Fathers and their wealth of wisdom, and their love and passion for Jesus Christ. I eventually ended up finding the Orthodox Church and calling it home. I appreciate that you try not to be biased, as much as possible anyway, Ultimately I believe neutrality is a myth. But you have a good balance in delivering the facts in the context of history. Very glad to have you back! I look forward to it all!
