[John Teske · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very educational.

I have heard of the "Q" document by some of my fellow parishioners at our local Church, and now know that this is untrue.

Although I did not doubt the veracity and authenticity of the Gospels, this course is a compelling argument for me for the truth of the Gospels, from the very beginning. It just magnifies the teachings of the Church that much more.

Overall excellent!

This workbook goes along with the videos as well as the book, The Case for Jesus. It made connections for me through the Old Testament prophesies that showed exactly what and who Jesus claimed to be. I have a much deeper understanding of my Catholic Faith through the 4 Gospel writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in addition to the Acts. This was an awesome book study during Lent.
