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 4-year Bible program will introduce you to God’s revelation through the Hebrew 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.

Class Locations are at Benet Pines Ministry Center in Colorado Springs, CO; Ave Maria in Parker, CO. Classes are held from September through April, one session weekly, with breaks at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break and Holy Week. Classes begin Labor Day week.

Student comments:

The Scripture Program has come to mean much more to me than I imagined it would. My understanding and appreciation of Scripture has matured. The ability to view Scripture through the lens of critical historical analysis speaks to me in a way that has captured my imagination. I feel my faith in God and God's love has deepened along the way.  Will Bishop

I began the Scripture Program with Sr Diane at Christ The King Parish in Pueblo and loved it from day one. The Scriptures were beginning to make sense to me after so many years of trying to understand and not being able to do so. The Scriptures came alive and I truly fell in love with God's word. I now am leading a Scripture class at Saint Michael's parish in Canon City. I wish everyone could take these scripture classes and know and love God's word more.  Barbara Rubenstein

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. Tena Jelinek

The Scripture classes 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. Miki Tyrrell

This class has allowed me to develop some discipline in reading the Word and trying to understand God's message to me personally. I hope I can internalize what I'm learning - not so much on an intellectual level, but on a heart-knowledge level, so I can become a true disciple of Christ.  Chris Kelley
