Adult Bible Background (ABB)

- Adults (age 16 to 100+) learn in a facilitated group setting about the ancient background for the Old (Hebrew) and New (Christian) Testaments. This approach gives the cultural, political, literary, and social backgrounds for the ancient times in which the various scriptures were written. This background expands our Catholic understanding of scripture today, by revealing what these scriptures meant to the original ancient audience. This ancient meaning helps today’s Catholic in private reading of the Bible, in personal reflection and development, in spiritual relationship with God and others, in application to daily life, and in coming to know the full meaning of being a follower of Christ. Each session is thought-provoking and lively (often with humor) with a mixture of brief presentation, questions and open-ended discussions.
  
  Time: The group meets from 9:45am - 11am on every Sunday morning in the Lourdes Room (except a very few holiday weekends).
  
  Gifts and talents:
  Participants: do not need any prior formal knowledge of scripture, ancient cultures, or history; they just need a desire to develop a deeper understanding of God's Word.
