Fr. Curt will host two Bible studies this fall at St. John’s.
On Sundays from 9am to 10am, beginning September 10, we will work from Parallel Gospels in Harmony. The task will be to read the Gospel accounts side-by-side in chronological order. There is no need for those attending the class to purchase this book. It will be helpful for those attending the class to bring their own Bibles (any translation will do). This study is open to all adults, as well as those who are soon-to-be adults.
On Tuesdays from 10:30am to 11:30am, beginning September 12, the group will read The Story: The Bible as One Continuing Story of God and His People. It will be helpful is participants bring their own copy of this book, as well as a Bible.
With each of these studies (especially the one on Tuesdays), the goal is to not rush our way through the Bible. Instead, we will mine the depth of Scripture at a deliberate pace. It’s conceivable the Tuesday study could last for a couple of years, given holiday and other breaks. But that’s okay!
Also, some are afraid if they miss one session they will fall behind to the degree that they never return. Please do not slip into this mindset. There is no cumulative final exam! Attendees will be able to easily fit back into place when life keeps them from missing a session.
