Season 1 • Episode 6
LatestIn our sixth and final lecture, we are guided through the profound teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, focusing on the Beatitudes and the radical call to love one's enemies. We explore how living in alignment with God frees us from addictions to wealth, pleasure, power, and honor, enabling us to become conduits of divine mercy and peacemakers in the world. The lecture concludes by reflecting on the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, emphasizing how God descends into the depths of human suffering to bring salvation and how the early Christians proclaimed this revolutionary message in the face of opposition from the Roman Empire. Finally, Bishop Barron finishes the course by inviting us to reflect deeply and continuously on the transformative power of God's Word.
In God, The Bible & Humanity, a five-hour course, Bishop Robert Barron explores the nature of God, the biblical narrative, and the life and teachings of Jesus Christ through the lens of Catholic theology. Drawing from the Old and New Testaments, he examines themes such as God's transcendence and immanence, the importance of right worship, spiritual liberation, and the roles of priest, prophet, and king. The course culminates in a profound reflection on the Sermon on the Mount and the transformative power of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.
