JOURNEY THROUGH SCRIPTURE

The study,  "The Bible and the Sacraments" is based on Scott Hahn's book, "Swear to God: The Promise and the Power of the Sacraments."  With the use of the accompanying study book, we will:

• delve into the meaning and origin of the Sacraments as taught by the Church
• expose the deeper mystery of the sacraments as illuminated by Sacred Scripture
• examine the relationship between the Old and New Testaments
• reveal the Sacraments to be more than "earthly rituals"
• uncover the “‘powers that come forth’ from the Body of Christ” 

Each week the 60- to 90-minute session will consist of

• review and discuss previous week's material
• watch current portion of video produced by St. Paul Center
• group discussion of current week's viewing
• check over previous week's assigned "homework"
