Have you wanted to learn
more about the Bible, but were
intimidated about how to read and understand it? Have you wanted to
feel more
confident in discussing Scripture with others? This fall we will
launching “The
Great Adventure” Bible Study by Jeff Cavins. This video course is the
most popular
Catholic Bible study program in the country. It is a wonderful form of
presentation for both newcomers and experienced Scripture
readers.
The purpose of The Great Adventure
Bible Timeline Seminar is to help you lay down the “train tracks”: to
set your route through the Bible and get you prepared for a lifetime
journey of discovering God in the Scriptures. In the process, it will:
- Identify the “narrative books”
of the Bible – the fourteen books that will lead you
chronologically through the story of salvation history – and show how
the remaining fifty-nine books fit in
- Divide salvation history
into twelve identifiable periods to help you remember
the progression of the story (and include salient details from secular
history to help you place salvation history in time)
- Explain how God’s plan unfolded through
the forging of a series of covenants so that you can
understand not just the story, but where it is going and how you fit in
it
- Give you memory aids –
like a band of colored beads to help you remember the twelve periods, a
helpful bookmark and a colored chart of all the important information
- Give you a plan for reading
through the fourteen narrative books on your own, and ways for
continuing your reading beyond that
