The Dog Days of Ordinary Time | Bible Basics with John Bergsma
Bible Basics with John Bergsma | July 2024
Where does the expression "the dog days of summer" come from? In this episode of Bible Basics, Dr. Bergsma explains the history of this common phrase, the roots of "ordinary time," the reason there are so many Marys in the New Testament, and the special connection between the month of July and the Gospel of John. Gentleman and ladies, start your Bibles!

Prof John Bergsma is a great teacher. I have learned so much from him. God bless you Prof. Maria from Manila.
I always enjoy John’s teachings. What a blessing for us all.
A Filipino priest here who always fondly listens and learns from you. GOD bless you, Dr. Bergsma- fr. ernest espiritu
Bergsma is a good one to listen to. His Pints with Aquinas episodes are good.
Thanks prof. Bergsma. I am a big fan of these videos (and of the Letters From Home podcast). From Curitiba-Brazil, may God bless you and keep you. José Freire

Greetings from Croatia! 🇭🇷 Dr.Bergsma, can you comment on Mark 3,21? "And when his friends heard it, they went out to seize him, for they said, “He is beside himself.” God bless you!
Enjoyable teacher!
In Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich's visions, they are two different persons. There is quite a lot said about them. Of course, the visions are not at all infallible teachings.
July 26 St. Anne and St. Joachim mentions?
I have always heard Mary was such a popular name in the Bible as Moses’ sister was Miriam and she was held dear by all Jews.

@@susannestorm9705 You are NOT mistaken! Thank you for pointing out my error. I have corrected my comment. Brant Pitre has said Miriam was a very popular Jewish name due to the relationship to Moses

I can't find the course referenced in the video on Mary Magdalene. Any suggestions on how to find it? I went to the Saint Paul site and couldn't find it.

Hi Leon! Thanks for asking! It will be released on Emmaus Academy later in July; it is not published yet! God Bless!
That's an old joke but an easy way to remember the difference between those two sects of Judaism. I count seven Mary's: 1) Mary mother of Jesus; 2) Mary wife of Clopas; 3) Mary magdalene; 4) Mary of Bethany; 5) Mary mother of James and Joses; 6) Mary mother of John Mark; 7) Mary of Rome (Rm. 16:6).
How do you explain to an eight year old that the Bible contains truths and facts and that Jesus is not make- believe, which he's being told by a lot of kids.

Hi Leon! I think that your example in their life and how you live and speak of Jesus can influence how they understand Him. If you live a life that shows and speaks of Jesus in a way in which it shows that you believe Him to be real, then kids will pick that up. As they grow up, you can further catechize them about Christ and the Bible. I also encourage you to listen to the episode of our podcast series, Drawing Flame, on the Eucharistic Pilgrimage with Kris Frank. I think they provide a lot of helpful suggestions for teaching kids about the faith around the one hour mark. Hope this helps!
very disappointed about why the name Miriam was so popular. I thought it was because of Moses wife.
