The Great Adventure Bible Study – The Gospel of Matthew

Last year over 80 parishioners joined weekly for a “bird’s-eye-view” of the biblical story.  This year we are “swooping down” to explore the Gospel of Matthew in detail.

This 24-week study will engage you in the scriptures through reading, reflection questions, group discussion, and video lectures by Jeff Cavins.

Following the interpretive pattern of the authors of Scripture and the Fathers of the Church, The Bible and the Virgin Mary examines the role of Mary in salvation history. Through typology (types of Mary we find in the bible), we study her role as the New Eve, the Ark of the Covenant, and the Queen Mother. This study also examines Catholic doctrine with regard to the Blessed Virgin, answering common objections along the way.

These teachings speak loudly to all those who feel torn between the competing demands of this orld and their faith. This study offers“pearls for wise living” by applying the wisdom of James to the present. For anyone who has struggled to live a truly Christian life, James offers a wealth of practical solutions for handling and even sanctifying everyday circumstances.
