Publisher's Summary:

The prophet Jeremiah warned that Israel would spend 70 years in captivity for its willful and persistent disobedience. At the end of 70 years, however, God raises up Cyrus the Great, king of Persia, who allows not only the Jews, but all of the people taken captive by Assyria and Babylon, to return home and rebuild their cities, temples and infrastructures.

In Ezra we witness the exiles return to rebuild the temple. Destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C., the temple is rebuilt and dedicated in 516 B.C. But it is nothing like the fabulous temple Solomon built. In fact, when those who had seen Solomons temple see the second temple, they weep at its inadequacy!

Editorial Reviews:

The book of Ezra tells the story of God restoring the Israelites from exile, affirming that He uses his powers to judge but also to restore. Professor and biblical scholar Dr. Bill Creasy pairs with Logos Bible Study for this series of live lectures. Besides being articulate and informed, Dr. Creasy is an exceptional performer. He gets the audience laughing, even while they are contemplating life's most important questions. His dramatic pacing makes his every word compelling. Studying the bible with Dr. Creasy is a breeze.

Excellent Bible Study

This series contains the audio from class lectures by Dr. Bill Creasy.

Dr. Creasy covers each book verse-by-verse, providing context to the material by explaining other passages in the Bible that may relate to a passage under study, with descriptions of corresponding historical events and the geography and their relationship to the passage, as well as anecdotes from his travels or study. I find it extremely helpful to study the Bible in context with geography and history.

As explained in the opening lesson on Genesis, this study starts with Genesis in the Old Testament, then moves to Matthew in the New Testament, then Exodus and Leviticus in the Old Testament, then back to Mark in the New Testament, and so on. Dr. Creasy does this because 1) if covered in weekly segments, as done in his class, it would be in year 5 before he got to Matthew, and 2) to help show the relationship between Old Testament and New Testament.

According to the syllabus I received from Dr. Creasy (he sometimes deviates from this in class), Ezra is the twenty-fourth in the Logos Bible Study series, preceded by Galatians and followed by Nehemiah. Ezra has 10 chapters, and the study is comprised of 4 lessons. Total time - 2 hours, 35 minutes.

Lamentations is Jeremiahs eyewitness account of the terrible suffering of a people who watch priest and prophet killed in the temple and are driven in desperation to eat their own children. Join Logos Bible Studys Dr. Bill Creasy as he explores the five acrostic poems that compose the book of Lamentations.

Editorial Reviews:

Dr. Bill Creasy of Logos Bible Study uses a literary, historical approach to examine and enliven the bible for modern listeners. Dr. Creasy draws on his studies, travels, and personal anecdotes to depict a vivid picture of the works of scripture. Somewhere between a sermon and a college lecture, he delivers these audiobooks with authority but a pleasantly friendly voice and a touch of fun, using contemporary references.

Continuing where he left off with The Book of Jeremiah, Dr. Creasy talks about Lamentations, also attributed to Jeremiah, the reluctant prophet. Jeremiah was in Jerusalem during the Babylonians siege of the city and Lamentations gives an eye-witness account of that siege which is painted in vivid, updated language in this audiobook.

Inside the heart of Jeremiah

This is what I love about Dr. Bill Creasy's teaching: he shows us the humanity of the person behind the writing in a very compelling way. I will never look at the Bible historical account in the same way again.

Title: Hosea

Author: Dr. Bill Creasy

Narrator: Dr. Bill Creasy

Format: Original Recording

Length: 1 hr and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-05-11

Publisher: Logos Bible Study

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 47 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Bibles

Publisher's Summary:

Both Isaiah and Hosea are writing at the same time, during the reigns of kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, 740-686 B.C. In Isaiah 1-35, Isaiah hauls Israel into court, charging her with unfaithfulness, calling out witnesses, and finding her guilty. The theme of these chapters is judgment. In Hosea, God says: "You know what I think; now I want you to know how I feel. To tell us, God selects Hosea to deliver the message. To ensure that he does so vividly, he commands Hosea to marry the notorious whore, Gomer, who will be unfaithful to him over and over again. And each time, God tells Hosea to take her back.

Join Logos Bible Studys Dr. Bill Creasy as he follows Hosea through the incredibly painful episodes of his life, as he delivers Gods message.

Editorial Reviews:

Hosea must accept the terrible job God assigns him: marry Gomer, who will constantly cheat on him, and forgive her each time. Hosea's fate dramatizes God's relationship with the unfaithful Israel. Employing some of the Bible's most intense language, this text deeply examines sin, judgment, and forgiving love. Biblical scholar Dr. Bill Creasy balances intellect and humor in his lecture. He will certainly have listeners thinking hard but also laughing out loud as they follow this dramatic Old Testament story. Because it is a live talk, the sound quality sometimes suffers, but Dr. Creasy's strong voice overcomes. As a natural public speaker, he makes learning about the Bible a joy.

Members Reviews:

Audio quality is poor

Too much of an echo throughout the whole program. Otherwise it was the usual excellent review.

Terrible audio for a great teacher

Would you listen to Hosea again? Why?

I love Dr Creasys lectures and almost have them all, but this one was very difficult to listen to simply because of the sound recording. I know someone has commented about this and said they still heard every word, sadly this wasnt the case for me and Ive whole sentences that are too muffled to understand.

Its a shame because its not only a book I really wanted to hear, but also because it doesnt show the usual quality.

It really should be done again.

If this is your first book from Dr Creasy, I would suggest trying another one because you might feel disappointed to the point of angry with the quality and itd be a shame to miss his work because of one bad recording.

What did you like best about this story?

Sorry, the whole experience of trying to understand what was being said spoilt the whole book for me.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

N/A

Good but sound issues

The story and delivery is excellent, as usual, but the sound is as if from a long way off. Having said that, you can hear every word.

Publisher's Summary:

Editorial Reviews:

In his brief lecture on the prophet Zephaniah, Dr. Bill Creasey uses the man he calls "the darkest" of prophets to discuss the nature of sin. Creasey states that sin is like a cancer and uses personal stories from his own family life to demonstrate how "the condition" of sin must be immediately excised. The story of Zephaniah exemplifies "the dark side" of divine love.

In this live performance Creasey reads verses from Scripture while interpreting and enhancing the literal meaning of the words with his unique brand of professorial and Christian wisdom. The famed Bible instructor routinely fills rooms with avid students. His riveting lectures have been heard all over the world, including in the Holy Land.

Members Reviews:

Another great lecture.

This is another great lecture from Dr. Bill Creasy. He is always incredibly insightful and engaging. He often supplements the material with personal stories which are relevant and interesting. He has taken several trips to Israel and the Middle East where he visits the locations depicted in the Bible and he shares those first hand accounts which enables him to take you back to that point in time that the scripture is talking about.

Title: Joel

Author: Dr. Bill Creasy

Format: Original Recording

Release date: 08-01-11

Publisher: Logos Bible Study

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 39 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Bibles

Publisher's Summary:

Joel may be the earliest of the writing prophets; if he is, then he introduces the term the Day of the Lord as a reference to a set of final, catastrophic events that will befall Israeland indeed all humanity in the end times. Illustrating his message with reference to a dreadful locust plague that occurred in the past, we shudder as God makes clear that if Israel does not repent something much greater than a locust plague will occur. Follow along as Logos Bible Studys Dr. Bill Creasy casts this books imagery in living color and Dolby sound on the big screens of our minds eye, compelling us to understand the dire message of this unique prophet.

Editorial Reviews:

Joel is the second of the 12 Minor Prophets of the Hebrew Bible who spends much of his Biblical real estate lamenting a plague of locusts. Dr. Bill Creasey interprets this natural disaster literally and places it in its historical context. As always, this renowned Biblical scholar couples live, dynamic readings with intimate and relatable examination of the verses. A listener could not walk away from this "global classroom" collection of Logos Bible Study without a deeper, more personal understanding of Christianity. It is recommended that students listen with Bible in hand, following the literal lines while Creasey exposes their broader significance.

Great lecture from Dr. Creasy

This is another great lecture from Dr. Bill Creasy. He is always incredibly insightful and engaging. He often supplements the material with personal stories which are relevant and interesting.

Poor audio quality

Another instance of hollow sound. Otherwise typical of this venue. As always it helps to have read the book before listening to the review.

Title: James

Author: Dr. Bill Creasy

Narrator: uncredited

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Bibles

Publisher's Summary:

James, the brother of the Lord and leader of the church in Jerusalem, writes this epistle, sometime before A.D. 70. Paul had been very clear that we are saved by grace through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. At the Council of Jerusalem in A.D. 50, Peter, Paul, James and the other Apostles concurred with Pauls position, and it is James who, as leader of the church in Jerusalem, orders that a letter be written to all the churches explaining the Councils decision. In his epistle, James does not contradict himself by arguing the contrary, that we are saved by works; rather, he says: You say you have faith: good, Im happy to hear it! But Ill show you my faith by my works. Saying we have faith is easy; James wants to see the evidence of that faith, for as the great reformer John Calvin said: Faith alone saves, but the faith that saves is never alone. A genuine saving faith in Christ will always manifest itself in a life of active love, or good works. Join Logos Bible Studys Dr. Bill Creasy as together we encounter James, the redheaded Dutch uncle of Scripture.

Editorial Reviews:

Dr. Bill Creasy, together with Logos Bible Study, gives an engaging interpretation of the epistle of James. Dr. Creasy has an interesting history: a former marine, he earned a PhD in English literature from UCLA. After teaching at UCLA for over 20 years, Dr. Creasy brings his expertise to Logos Bible Study lectures. With dramatic pacing and a warm tone, Dr. Creasy answers complex questions such as why certain books have been included in the New Testament while others have not. Overall, Dr. Creasy provides an extremely thoughtful analysis of this epistle. Listeners should have a bible handy while enjoying this in-depth audio lecture.

Needs refreshed

This is an old teaching from an early course and it suffers from editing issues. I caught two area where the story line repeated.

Not much onJames

Did not cover James. Covered other areas of the bible. Still enjoyed. Love the bible

Very good

But spent too much time in other books of the Bible before getting to the scriptures in James

Another enjoyable delivery by Dr Bill...

...I mostly enjoy Bill Greasy 's approach to teaching the Bible as literature. This on James is no different. I recommend the entire series.

The only way to get a searchable audio bible

Any additional comments?

It is a shame that The only way to get a searchable audio bible is to download one book/section at a time. the only audio bible available for download that is searchable by chapter is the FREE KJV MP3 version
