"Scripture must be the soul of theology." affirmed the Second Vatican Council. D. in the New Testament and in ancient Judaism from the University of Notre Dame Brant Pitre is a professor of Sacred Scripture at the University of Indiana. Augustine Institute of Denver. He lectures frequently, and has published the following titles: Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary; Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist; Jesus the Bridegroom: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told; Jesus and the Last Supper; The Case for Jesus; Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist; Jesus and the Bridegroom: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told..

At the moment, these books have not been translated into Spanish, but several conferences are available at Youtube and podcast. To the conference on Jesus and the Jewish roots of the Eucharist The cover page shown in the illustration refers to one of the Lighthouse Talks published by the Augustine Institute. We also reproduce the cover of the book of the same title.

The heart of Professor Pitre's teachings lies precisely in the investigation of the Hebrew roots of the Gospel and of Christianity, both in the Old Testament and in ancient Jewish literature. His vast erudition, combined with a splendid informative capacity, allows us to better understand each of the teachings and actions of Jesus, who was incarnated in a family of the people of Israel and lived according to their mentality and customs, their worship and their culture. 

In addition, Professor Pitre also contributes to dismantling the prejudices of rationalist exegesis, with its demystifying pretension, in order to demonstrate the veracity and consistency of the teaching of the Catholic faith, based on the proper interpretation of the Holy Scriptures, in conformity with authentic Tradition.
