Thanks for your work. Just some input, I have hearing damage, chronic tinnitus, so I really struggled to hear your voice with the music playing. If you can just put volume of the music lower it should be fine.

As a security guard who works at a gallery that shows Rembrandt this makes it all the more interesting.

_The long awaited_ Return of the Reeves!

Guess who’s back, back again! ❤🎉❤🎉

Welcome back please start making videos again. Your channel and C.S. Lewis/J.R.R. Tolkien series first sparked my interest in, got me to consider being open minded to Christianity 4-5 years ago. Thank you.

@@Jondoe_04 I don’t go to church, my faith wavers and ebbs and flows over time. I don’t choose the path of devotion like I should. I’m pretty self-centered and fearful a lot of the time. Sometimes I struggle to believe in the resurrection. I don’t pray like I should and it feels awkward when I do. A part of me still holds back. But, I learned a few years ago about the value of faith. I noticed Christianity is the most reviled religion in our modern society and that made me interested in looking into it. I used to be a bit of a conspiracy theorist and I guess I realized the ultimate conspiracy theory is God’s real. He must be because I believe the devil, and sin exist. And Mr. Reeve’s videos about Tolkien and Lewis, I respected these intellects and come to find out they believed and it lit a tiny spark of interest in exploring the Bible for myself. So it’s just been a journey thus far, but I’ve yet to surrender myself completely and utterly to His will, I suppose is the jist of it.

I am in tears. Beautiful! as good, for me, as any devotional I could have read this morning.

I watched your videos 6 years ago, then came across you again two weeks ago. Crazy timing

I've never looked at an art piece in such depth before, not even my college humanities professor went half as far as this. Good to have you back.

Mine did, and he was Jewish. His love of the humanities and art, and the trajectory of Western Civilization left a lasting impression. His love of the mosaics of Ravenna eventually sent me there. He taught that Judiaism found the near-sacrifice of Isaac as the foundation of the special relationship between God and Abraham's descendants. But I realized immediately, that this was a foreshadowing of what God had planned to do for us with his son. Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his own son on behalf of God may have made God all the more willing to return the favor, but for all of us. He loved Plato, he loved the Iliad and the Odyssey, and the sculpture of the ancient world. I think everyone needs to have the class I had with him.

Wow. Welcome back!!

I missed you!❤

oh snap, look who is back

What a touching subject for a comeback! Hope to see more soon!

I’m so happy to hear Dr. Reeves is back!

My favourite Rembrandt is the painting of Jeremiah. And i loved your excursion into Michaelangelo's The Pieta

I never knew anything of Rembrandt until this video and this is why I love your videos

Back in the saddle again!

Three years ago I watched all of your videos over the course of about three months while I was looking for what I have since found in the Orthodox Church ☦️ but I just want to thank you for the great education that I received from your lectures. 🙏 God bless!

I love that voice!

Never thought one of your videos would hit me in the ol' feels but here we are.

I'm so happy you are back. Your videos on the early Church inspired me and changed my view on things. Ever since I've been reading books on Church history and devouring the information, and fell in love with the Church Fathers and their wealth of wisdom, and their love and passion for Jesus Christ. I eventually ended up finding the Orthodox Church and calling it home. I appreciate that you try not to be biased, as much as possible anyway, Ultimately I believe neutrality is a myth. But you have a good balance in delivering the facts in the context of history. Very glad to have you back! I look forward to it all!

So excited for this channel to be back! Please consider doing a channel update video!

🎉Welcome back!!🎈🎈🎂 I can’t wait to dig into more Church history with you!

I'm watching this at lunch at a restaurant. This story has brought me to tears but I cannot care less. Thank you so much for this piece.

From a Traditionalist & a fellow, L.W. Highlander, Thank You! I have learned a lot and so happy you are back. Your teaching on the Apostolic Fathers in the early Catholic Church and so much more has been phenomenal. It is fitting you have the story of the Prodigal Son.

I literally just bought and hung up this painting in my reading room a week ago as a tribute to God’s redeeming love for me…Drawing me back home this past year. I’ve also been excited to see you return to KZread as your videos have benefited me in my walk with God. Glad you are back and what an awesome video!

Binge, binge, binge! I found your channel last year, but re-watched seven hours straight of your church history playlist last night. Welcome back!

Thank you for returning to us I’ve missed you. Please don’t leave us again.

I was so pleased to see that you are back. I love Christian history. I watched it and then watched it again with my wife (who is a Christian artist painting and photography). She also really enjoyed this video. We both just ask that next time the music is turned down compared to your voice. It got distracting but THANK YOU so much and we look forward to your future work.

Great to have you back, and with a story of my Dutch heritage, no less.

Great to see you back Ryan! The Lord has used you to teach me so much about His precious Church.

Praise the lord, our favourite youtube theologian amd historian is back 😅

Welcome back, professor!

I’ve periodically checked back on your channel for literally 5 years. Happy you’re back!

Great comeback. I am excited for any new content coming out. Your video series have been instrumental in my conversion to Christ.

Very well done. Thank you for investing so much time in this. It increased my appreciation for history, art and Rembrandt himself. I also appreciate that you brought out Rembrandt's intimacy in his depiction of Biblical themes. Watched it for a 2nd time with my wife. Looking forward to more. (Loved your Church History series!!!)

Welcome back Dr. Reeves. You've been missed. I enjoyed this as I've enjoyed all of your videos.

This was absolutely beautiful and touching. Tears were rolling down my face.

Excellent!

Thank you for coming back. Your work is beutiful and important.

I really enjoy your videos and have found them to be really informative. A number of them I've watched over and over again. Looking forward to what you produce next 😁. One bit of constructive criticism, I did find the level of the background music to be a bit high and therefore distracting for your latest video. I don't know if that's just me as I'm a little hard of hearing 😅

What a very beautiful video. Thank you so much. I teared up a little. Silly me.

This gave me a reason to care about Rembrandt from a Christian History perspective. Great job!!!!

Thank you for returning and with such a wonderful opening with Rembrandt!

So glad I didn’t unfollow your channel, you have such insight and understanding of church history. Thank you, I hope you’re back for many years!

Glad to have you back

This one about brought a manly tear to my eye, very nice!

Being an artist myself, I knew about Rembrandt, his lighting, brushwork and technique - but never knew this part about his life. 😮🥲 Amazing video again, mr Reeves, this one touches very deeply. ❤

This was fantastic. I’m glad your back!

Dr Reeves is back. I loved this. The message was beautiful. I loved the music and I think it helped the tone. The pacing. The story. The reflection on the themes. Bravo!

This entire presentation was beautiful. It chocked me up.

It’s so wonderful to hear you’re back!! My husband and I have been so blessed by all your videos! Thank you so much for what you’re doing. May the Lord reward all your hard work! We’ve rewatched multiple videos over and over because they are so wonderful! We are so excited!!!🎉🙌🏼

I'm so glad you are back!!!!

Like the father, I am also glad you’re back.

Been watching you since 2016, it’s surreal to have you back. I am looking forward to more vids.

Thank you for coming back.

So very happy to see you're here!!

Hey just started this video but wanted to say thank you for your content. You are truly a man after God's heart. I do not have a degree in history or theology (I am a microbiologist) but every video i have seen here has been a blessing. You are honest and succinct.

Such a moving and captivating rendering of that great parable by Rembrandt , and beautifully narrated and edited by Ryan Reeves, that I was suspended in time for a moment !

Thanks for the video Ryan. I've really connected with this painting since my conversion/reversion to faith. I'm Catholic, so I don't entirely agree with your view on some things, but many of your videos helped open me up to Christianity and I'm thankful for that. Keep making these videos. God bless.

Im glad that you are back

You have left me speechless and brought me to tears….thank you
