Bible Basics: Becoming Better Bible Readers

Thursday, March 11, 7-8:30 p.m.
Facilitated by Steve Mueller, PhD
(RSVP by March 9) Zoom Presentation

Beginning in 2020, Pope Francis designated the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time as the Sunday of the Word of God, “to be devoted to the celebration, study and dissemination of God’s Word.” He encourages us all “to grow in our knowledge and love of the Scriptures and of the risen Lord, who continues to speak his word and to break bread in the community of believers.”

In this class, Dr. Steve Mueller will offer practical help for all who wish to become better Bible readers, whether they are just beginning or continuing to deepen their knowledge and develop their skills. In this presentation he will explore in more detail ways to better read and understand the New Testament Gospels, Letters, and Book of Revelation. He will also provide the opportunity to answer our questions.

In preparation for the class, we ask that you watch his CIC video presentation, Reading Your Bible: Discovering the Message for Today (https://bit.ly/CICbiblebasicsvideo) in which he explores the basic questions of what we read, why we read, and how we read the bible. ($10 donation suggested)
