Cover the foundational books of the Old and New Testaments
Each week we’ll read the Bible and allow God’s Word to guide us in the life of a Catholic missionary disciple, studying 14 books of the Old Testament and 16 books of the New Testament.
Engaging teacher Cathryn Torgerson will provide in-depth presentations that will guide you through reading the foundational books of the Old and New Testament at St. Mary’s in Monroe. By letting the inspired Word of God speak to you, these foundational books of the Bible offer opportunities to:
- Discover the roots of our Sacraments in the Old Testament
- Explore Creation narratives as a Catholic
- Learn the meanings of God’s Covenant with Israel and the New Covenant
- Find scriptural support for key Catholic teachings
- Encounter the full humanity and divinity of Jesus present in His earthly ministry
- Meet Jesus’ early followers and see how they evangelized lukewarm religious people and a secular culture
- Learn the story of Christianity’s spread in the 1st century and how we share that mission today
