Peter Tremblay

Amateur and filled with errors.

Revisado: 08-22-24

I had to stop listening after about an hour. This is written like a mediocre high school book report.

It has blatant inaccuracies like saying that the Babylonian Exile occurred in medieval Europe.

This is a barely adequate text for the most novice reader.

Very comprehensive but difficult for a novice

Revisado: 04-03-23

This book provided a thorough and comprehensive history of the money lending. Towards the become half the content can get difficult to follow as more and more technical financial vocabulary is used. The overall narrative flow can be maintained but it is easy to get lost in the jargon.

Finally there is little by way of commentary on the history of money lending. If you are looking for a text that offers a conversation around the ethics of money lending and its many developments (especially in contemporary finance) then this is NOT the text for you.

A must-read for anyone interested about race in America

Revisado: 06-15-22

These essays are powerful and enlightening. I have never before encountered such a comprehensive and compelling account of the history of America and the evil of racism.

I have read other books on this subject before but this is by-far the best and most essential work on this topic.

If you only read one work on racism in the United States this should be it.

A woman for our time.

Revisado: 05-16-22

Her example, convictions, and wisdom are all the more essential for our world today. Dorothy Day might be one of the few people with the wisdom to keep our society from running headlong into self immolation.

Excellent

Revisado: 11-18-21

A very thorough, in depth, and informative history of the First Vatican Council. For “The past is never dead. It is not even the past.”

To understand the Catholic Church today requires an understanding of the 19th century and the Church’s response to the enlightenment at Vatican I. To understand Vatican II and I the Post-Vatican II church requires an understanding of Vatican I.

I wish I had read this in seminary

Revisado: 08-31-21

It is hard to put into words the significance of what Dr. Pitre has taught in this work. This has forever changed my appreciation for scripture (I’m a consummate student of the Bible), the Eucharist (I’m a Catholic priest who loves the Eucharist) and my personal prayer and faith (I’ve loved learning about the Jewish roots of Christianity).

This is the type of work that will change all of Christianity given time and serious consideration. Few writers have presented and explained such truth in such brief and monumental ways. Dr. Brant Pitre’s work seems to me to be on par with the greatest of Christian authors. I say this as having read and studied most of them.

Thank you Dr. Pitre. I only wish I had read/listened to this sooner.

I didn’t want it to end

Revisado: 12-23-18

It’s rare that a book evokes emotion from me but this trilogy, especially The Hero of Ages, really touched me. The end brought tears to my eyes and the story was so good that I didn’t want it to end.

Superlative

Revisado: 10-25-18

This is the best story, best production, and most entertaining narration of any book that I have listened to.

I'm sad that it is over.

Good information but not great narration

Revisado: 08-10-18

The introduction was easy to understand and follow. The author certainly is thorough in their addressing the questions of the philosophy of science but on some issues their bias is easily seen. I don't necessarily disagree with the author's biases but they can be deduced.

I enjoy the information but I found the narrator to sound unnatural and speak with way to much treble in his voice.

A must read/listen for those who care about our way of life

Revisado: 10-14-17

This book is eye opening, wise, and thought provoking. If you care about our way of life and what's going wrong with our society this book, better than all others that I've come across, is a must read.
