What is a “Catholic way” to read the Bible? This these ten introductory sessions provide a fun and faithful way to begin to develop the practices essential to entering into God’s Word with faith, hope and love without checking our minds at the door.
Purpose of the sessions is to provide: · an introduction and overview to the entire Bible, including its purpose, origins and how its parts combine into the Story of God and God’s people. · will introduce reading tools that enable one to use faith and reason together in order to hear the Word of God most fully · hopefully whet appetites for more.
Wes Howard-Brook and Sue Ferguson Johnson will facilitate the sessions. Wes Howard-Brook is an adjunct professor at Seattle University and has been teaching and writing on Scripture since 1988.
