The Beatitudes of Jesus

Good, simple introduction to the beatitudes. Includes the different approaches to interpreting the beatitudes. Blomberg's classification of the Matthew beatitudes into two groups of four is interesting. He also did not neglect to address the parallel passage in Luke.

Take notes during the lecture, there's lot's of information.

I found this course well laid out, thought-provoking in its presentation, and worthy of deeper discussions on what the Beatitudes mean for us today as Christians.

I learned a lot about the Beatitudes that I didn't know before. The information was very interesting and helpful in my studies.

The course was helpful and enjoyed.

The ten-minute lectures were just the right amount of time to keep my attention and break my learning into smaller bits so I understood.

The Beatitudes are so much more than I knew it to be. I am glad this course helped me to have a more in-depth understanding of their context.

I especially liked the comparison between Matthew and Luke and how the Beatitudes were covered, much as two people taking a course might have course notes that vary but convey the same general message.

Very interesting, at times challenging but truly capturing.

Really interesting - learned many new insights. Thank you :)

I love the lectures, very informative. Helps me to see old bible passages in new light. Appreciate the sense of humor as well. Thank you for all you do.

This course was a blessing!

Thank you !

It helps me a lot to understand God's word.

Good course and rather easy to follow if you pay attention.

The beatitudes, the sermon on the mount, are always great to review and study again and again.

Very difficult and challenging . Apparently I didn't know much going in. Just heard them lightly highlighted from pastors who just skimmed over familiar phrases. Eye opening!

What I cannot believe is how I've been reading the Bible for decades and I still managed to get answers wrong on the quiz! The quizzes are what makes this addicting. This was a sobering experience.

Good knowledge

I really enjoyed this course and learned from it. I do like the way Dr. Blomberg explains things, it makes it easy to understand and fun to listen to. Thank you for this course.

Refreshing and Enriching. Thank you! Would have been great if Dr. Blomberg had expounded more on the four woes in Luke.

Keep up the fantastic work! :-)

Also I would disagree with some of the answers in the quiz of the 4th lesson. But otherwise this was an interesting lesson

This was a good overview of the content.
