This is one that I will watch again. I went through this in a couple weeks and mostly at night with headphones on to not wake my wife. I haven't been to college and for the most part have only done self directed study. Professor Wright puts some really tasty food on the plate in this, connecting the OT and the NT in several places thoughout and attempting to explain how the original reaaders and 1st century Church might perceive it in thought and practice. These "rabbit trails" could be considered full course meals by themselves. So, get out your notepad and pen to jot down the references Professor Wright shares thoughout. I know I will when I watch this again. Very pleasing IMHO.
