Bible Study Class

This Bible Study class will be held on the following Tuesday evenings, August 13, 20 & 27 from 7 – 9pm in the St. Mary conference room. I am excited to be teaching the Holy Scriptures in a classroom structure for understanding and open discussions.
 
The class will focus on the Gospel of John. The relationship of John’s Gospel to the Synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke is the first step before studying the fourth Gospel in itself or its four sections: prologue, book of signs, book of glory, and epilogue. We are going to study how Jesus of Nazareth is revealed in the Gospel of John as the Word, the Living, creative Second Person of the Holy Trinity. As the promised Messiah, Jesus revealed us the Father. Though his sacrifice and death on the cross, and through his resurrection he established the New Covenant that transforms human’s relationship with the Father through the gift of the redemption and salvation of the entire humanity.

When we attend Mass, we do not have the opportunity to ask questions and have discussion after the homily. We are invited to profess our faith, instead. This class will offer us the opportunity to ask questions and to engage in discussions. We will read, learn together, and share our own experience about the Holy Scriptures, especially the way they impact our everyday life.

We are all welcome to study the life and actions of Jesus as they are recorded in the Gospel of John so that we may strengthen our faith or we “may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing this” we “may have life through his name” (John 20:31).
