What People Are Saying

“I want to thank you for being a great teacher of the Jewish Background of the NT! Your good sense of humor and lively explanations as well as enthusiastic comments have made this course so enjoyable for me! Your love for the ancient texts, literature and God have been contagious! Your huge knowledge as a historian on all the different ancient texts, backgrounds and cultures influencing the authors of the NT (and of course of the Hebrew Bible as well) has been fascinating and in a large way eye eye-opening and challenging for me. At times, even a bit intimidating (not you as a person, but the load of information – so much new stuff!)!

— Eva Brunner, Switzerland

I have been studying the book of Revelation for about 40 years, and only with this course its message became personal. Thank you, for making the book of Revelation so accessible.”

I know pictures don't do the land of the Bible justice, but Rodrigo makes me feel like I'm there. What a wonderful experience!

O que estão dizendo

Quero agradecer por ser um grande professor da contexto judaico do Novo Testamento! Seu bom senso de humor, suas explicações animadas e seus comentários entusiasmados tornaram este curso muito agradável para mim! Seu amor pelos textos antigos, pela literatura e por Deus foi contagiante! Seu vasto conhecimento como historiador sobre todos os diferentes textos, histórias e culturas antigas que influenciaram os autores do Novo Testamento (e, claro, da Bíblia Hebraica também) foi fascinante e, em grande parte, esclarecedor e desafiador para mim. Às vezes, até um pouco intimidador (não você como pessoa, mas a quantidade de informações – tanta coisa nova!)!

Eva Brunner, Suíça

Estudo o livro do Apocalipse há cerca de 40 anos e somente com este curso sua mensagem se tornou pessoal. Obrigado por tornar o livro do Apocalipse tão acessível.

O Professor Rodrigo é inspirador e eu gosto da sua abordagem de ensino. Ele faz você pensar, mas é rápido em responder a quaisquer perguntas ou preocupações. Ele torna a geografia bíblica muito interessante ao conectar as histórias das Escrituras com a terra.”

Sei que as fotos não fazem jus à terra da Bíblia, mas o Rodrigo me faz sentir como se estivesse lá. Que experiência maravilhosa!

— David, Texas-USA

Professor Rodrigo is inspiring and I like his approach to teaching. He makes you think but is quick to answer any questions or concerns. He makes bible geography very interesting as he ties together the stories from Scripture to the land.”
