Amazed and Afraid:  The Revelation of God Become Man

Journey with Father Robert Barron as he visits the mysterious sites and sacred places of the land of Israel. From the lush region of ancient Caesarea Phillipi, to the shores of the Sea of Galilee, to the holy city of Jerusalem and finally to the Eternal City of Rome, Father Barron will use his pilgrimage to illuminate and explain the Catholic Faith’s conviction that Jesus of Nazareth is the promised Messiah and the revelation of God become man.

That Which Nothing Greater Can Be Thought:  The Ineffable Mystery of God

Father Barron climbs to the heights of Sinai and makes his way to mysterious Istanbul, walks the glittering streets of Paris and then captivates the viewer with the glories of the Sistine Chapel in Rome – all to provide a vision of the ineffable majesty and mystery of God.

Our Tainted Nature’s Solitary Boast:  Mary, the Mother of God

In this episode, Father Barron masterfully correlates the Catholic Faith’s testimony to the revelation of God in Christ with the vivid practices of reverence offered to his Mother. Father Barron will journey to the humble remains of Mary’s house in Nazareth, to the ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus and to the great Marian shrines of Lourdes and Guadalupe. This episode will also feature commentary on some of the most remarkable imagery of the Mother of God created by the world’s greatest artists.
