What do we mean by the phrase, “The Word of God”?
“THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IS NOT A RELIGION OF THE BOOK.”
Tuesday Bible Study with Dr. Tom Sauline
9:30-11 am in the Mackin Room or Join by Zoom*
Theme: The Resurrection and the Life
Join us in person or virtually by Zoom to explore this theme for 6 Tuesday mornings between October 25th and December 6th, 9:30-11am.
The Resurrection and the Life Bible Study reflects on what Jesus meant when he said I am the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:25). With select passages from the Old and New Testament, the Study presents the Resurrection as a past, present, and future reality. Participants will reflect on the Resurrection as the beginning of God’s new creation, a power for living for God now, and a promise for a resurrection from the dead. They will have a better understanding of what the Scriptures teach about their own resurrection and how that hope gives purpose to their lives.
GOALS: Participants will study
- Biblical passages about the resurrection of Jesus
- the scandal of the cross
- the significance of the resurrection for Christian life
OUTCOMES: Participants will
- Be able to identify passages from the Bible related to the theme
- Understand the resurrection as the heart of the Good News of Christ
- Reflect on the significance of the resurrection for Christian faith
METHODS: Participants will
- Read the assigned biblical texts and commentaries at home.
- Discuss the questions for reflection during the sessions.
- Pray with select passages.
