Why is it important to read and know about the founding fathers of the Israelites?

Sometimes it’s hard for Modern day Catholics to pray immediately with the Old Testament because we’re removed at a distance from it. In this new episode of The Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn is joined by Fr. Charles Samson of the Archdiocese of St. Louis to answer just that.

In their discussion, they talk about the importance of Israel and her continuity through the Church, the importance of memory in the Bible, and what is continued and discontinued from ancient Israel to the modern age of the Church and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
