ADULT BIBLE STUDY

Bible Study: The Splendor of the Old Testament
​A Four Week Online Bible Study
Some of us are quite familiar with the Old Testament or the Hebrew Scriptures, having read the entire Bible. Others of us know what we’ve heard at Mass. Others of us find the Old Testament distasteful. But we must remember that the Hebrew Scriptures were what Jesus grew up with, memorized, and taught. In this study, we shall take an overview of the Old Testament and explore how its teachings reveal the beauty of God’s plan for salvation which began after the breaking of humans’ right relationship with God. We will see how God has always worked through and despite the actions of flawed humans to bring us closer and closer to right relationship with him again.

All meetings will be held online via Zoom. The schedule is as follows:
  • Wednesdays beginning Wednesday January 27 at 2:00 PM & 3:00 PM 
  • Thursdays beginning Thursday January 28 at 5:00 PM, 6:00 PM, 7:00 PM & 8:00 PM
