Scripture From Scratch II: The World of the Bible presents contemporary Catholic biblical scholarship in a clear, easy-to-follow manner. The eight programs cover the world of the Bible—its geography, history and archaeology; the religious concepts of the Hebrew people; the religious life and political climate of Jesus’ day; the human identity of Jesus. The program contains almost seven hours of videotaped talks by Elizabeth McNamer and Virginia Smith recorded before a live audience. Each of these tapes is filled with maps, charts, graphical text and footage from the Holy Land. Each tape contains two 25-minute talks.
