Session Topics

  • Encountering Jesus Christ — August 4
    • Explore how Christ is the heart of all Scripture and how the Bible becomes a living encounter with Him. The Church has a clear pathway for reading Scripture in the Catholic tradition. We will look at that pathway and learn how to apply it in your personal life.
  • Exploring the Old Testament — August 11
    • Understand the story of salvation history and how the Old Testament prepares the way for Christ. A look at why Catholic Bibles have more books in the Old Testament than Protestant Bibles.
  • Exploring the New Testament — August 18
    • Dive into the Gospels, the early Church, and how the New Testament continues to shape Christian life today. Catholics have a deeply personal relationship between the Scriptures and the Liturgy. Did you know that in the Catholic Liturgy (Mass) the Bible is quoted almost 100 times?
