Scripture Studies 2007 - 2008
-celebrating its 24th year!
Classes begin Labor Day Week
Program Director / Instructor: Sister Diane
Liston, OSB

Looking for a fresh approach?
Program Goals:
"That the revelation of
God through the Scriptural world
become a deeper reality in our life."
- Introducing the bible to persons without
previous Scripture Study experience
- Broadening the understanding of persons
with a foundation of Biblical knowledge.
- Focusing on methods of study and praying
with Scripture
- Studying each book of Scripture
comprehensively
- Preparing participants to possibly lead
bible study groups, teach Scripture to adults, enhance catechesis, and/or
enrich personal spirituality.
This Bible program
will introduce you to God’s revelation through the Jewish Scriptures and through
Jesus in the Christian Scriptures. You will have the tools to interpret
Scripture in light of the author’s purpose, in light of the context, in light of
the cultural and historical background and in light of the literary form.

Castle Rock, CO, Ave Maria in Parker, CO, and Christ
the King in Pueblo, CO.

Student comments:
As a college graduate working in the
church, I felt illiterate when it came to Scripture. Not only did this
course enhance my working knowledge of Scripture, it was truly a gift to
myself. T. Jelinek
The Scripture Course not only
provided knowledge on the Judeo/Christian meaning of the bible, but also
provided the historic, political and geographic issues of the times.
This gave me a well-rounded understanding of the writings. M. Tyrrell
