    2015 Spring Survey

    I am chaplain for a monastery of sisters. I used his course for Bible study with them.

  4. Shelley

    I loved it!

    I loved it. I learned a great deal about Paul and his letters, including which were definitely written by him and which were written in his name. That was very helpful to my faith.

  5. Br. Kieran

    interesting and engaging

    Paul is not the easiest part of the New Testament but the presentation by Fr. Collins is both interesting and engaging. This great pastor, both Paul and Fr. Ray, come across as great salesmen of Christianity.

  6. Marlene

    Fr. Collins speaks clearly and he is well organized in presenting his thoughts.

    While Fr. Collins is not the most dynamic speaker I have ever heard, I learned so much from his course. He speaks clearly and he is well organized in presenting his thoughts. The DVD provides a study guide which may be printed out onto which I took many notes, and the used the information to write papers for a Loyola University Extension class on the New Testament. The content was intellectual enough to be of help in a graduate course, but spoken simply enough for the average person to understand. I will purchase another of Fr. Collins’ works with confidence.

  7. Paul

    Wonderful delivery

    High level overview of Paul’s developing thoughts and teaching. Wonderful delivery by Fr. Collins, relating many of the issues to modern everyday life, often with a touch of humour.

  8. Kieran

    Intelligible

    The clear manner in which Fr. Ray Collins presented the letters; his scholarship is intelligible to those who are not over scholarly themselves.

  9. M. A. M., AZ

  10. Brother Kieran F. FMS., New Zealand

    Winter Survey: January 2017

    The scholarship and easy manner of presenting. Excellent recapitulation and reflection of the best of contemporary understanding of Pauline authorship with the added advantage of further DVDs that explore other areas of the Pauline corpus.

  11. Michael W. H., AZ

    Winter Survey: January 2017

    Fr. Collins is one of most respected Biblical scholars on the writings of Paul. I highly recommend this course for personal use or shared with a Bible study group.

  12. John R., PA

    Winter Survey: January 2017

    This course gave me a much better insight into the various aspects of the actual writings attributed to Saint Paul, their development, his approach to the writings and how others may have used his name as author of New Testament writings attributed to him but were not actually his works.

  13. Anita R., MO

    Winter Survey: January 2017

    This course was an excellent explanation of Paul’s letters. It also provided insight into the writing of the time and interesting comments about letter writing in general. It brought these letters “to life” in a new way for me.

  14. Al T., TX

    Spring Survey: April 2017

    Letters of Paul were most enjoyable to listen to and gather important and pertinent information.

  15. Michael H., Australia

    Spring Survey: April 2017

    St Paul’s Epistles is an excellent introduction and overview to Paul the theologian, to his journeys and concerns, Fr Raymond Collins is a master at delivering excellence at the academic level in a way that is clearly manageable and enjoyable by the novice.

  16. M. A. M., AZ

    Spring Survey: April 2017

    This course gave me better insight into the life of St. Paul and his teaching style. The presenter, Fr. Collins, speaks in a manner that is understandable. He does not rush through his material.

  17. Brother Kieran F. FMS., New Zealand

    2018 Spring Survey

    Recommended to Waikato Diocese for Teachers of The Letters of Paul. They purchased it.
