Exploring the Bible with Mel Barror

The Prophet Isaiah is one of the most interesting Books of the Old Testament. Unfortunately, we know very little about the person Isaiah (or persons because the Book covers a time period of about 400 years), but we can learn a great deal about Jewish history and religion by listening to this prophet. A “prophet” is a person, or persons, who speaks for God. He does not predict the future unless it...

“Acts'' is unique in many ways because its place in the ‘new Christian Way’ was not really understood by many people until the language of the Mass was changed from Latin to the common language of the people – after Vatican Two (in 1965) when it was read at most Masses and explained. It takes the teachings of Jesus and explains them in a way that the general public can understand, thereby,...

“Daniel” is a mixture of history and story, written in the later part of the second century B.C., to give the people of the second century hope while being forced to accept the ways of the then current Greek culture. Daniel is not a real person, rather, he is a mixture of people and ideas to convey the message of refusal to accept. The story is set in the 6th century in order to avoid censure. We...

“Saints” is a very interesting subject with many angles and viewpoints to consider, but keep in mind that not all saints were always ‘holy people’. Many of them, like St. Peter and St. Paul,  lead  “colorful” lives and had to do a complete “turn-around” before they were on the right road.  In the following meetings, we will be discussing many of them, but more importantly, we will be discussing ho...
