MAT I: The Catholic Scriptures: Online – Sept. 18, 25, Oct. 2, 9, 2025

This course serves the purpose of giving the participant an overview of the plot and plan of the entire Bible by investigating introductory methods of biblical interpretation.  These methods of biblical interpretation will allow the participant to identify the main plot of the Bible’s narrative story, the covenants of Salvation History, by identifying the key people, places, and events of the Old and New Testaments.  Additionally, this course serves the purpose of illuminating to the participant that Christ is truly the fulfillment and embodiment of all of the promises and prefigurements of the Old Testament.  As proclaimed by St. Jerome, “Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.”
