We offer four classes that together cover the entire Bible.
- All faculty members hold graduate degrees in Catholic theology and are experienced teachers, deeply devoted to the Catholic faith.
- Your instructor is available to answer questions in person as well as via email.
- Classes are a comprehensive study, including historical context, the Scriptural text itself, and how the Word is still active today in our faith and our lives.
- Our rich structure includes prayer, written reflection, reading, discussion, and Q&A.
You get all this while enjoying an in-person, weekly gathering of Catholics from many parishes in your local area, or the "anytime" and "from any location" convenience of our fully-online class format. And, don't worry, there are no tests or grades!

About the class

Year A: Created for Covenant
In Created for Covenant, we begin our journey through the Bible by tracing the story of Israel–the People of God–through the historical books of the Old Testament, from Genesis to 2 Maccabees. Jesus’ earthly ministry flowed forth from this Old Testament context and God’s plan for creation. Through these books we discover that we too are created for covenant. The Old Testament is not merely history, but indeed our story, our family.
