Sacred Scripture, Church History & Catechism Studies
Beginning this fall 2010 an exciting collecton of classes is being offered in Sacred Scripture, Church History, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. An impressive array of Great Adventure Bible studies and the Denver Catholic Biblical School classes are available to help you grow in your faith and understanding of the Bible and the Catechism. EPIC – Church history - Christ centered and honoring all the Popes, great saints and doctors of the Church, is also being offered.
Great Adventure Bible Studies
These classes are open to everyone, it is not necessary to have taken the beginning Timeline class. If you are new to the Great Adventure series, we suggest taking the 24 week Bible Timeline class as that covers the entire Bible focusing on the salvation story found in 14 narrative books. This Timeline class would be excellent for those with children in the 3rd grade Great Adventure for Kids classes that start this fall. The Great Adventure Kids is a dynamic new learning system designed to teach children the story of the Bible in a fun and interactive manner; for more information contact Donna Gaffney. The cost for any of these classes covers the student workbook. Each class is a combination of individual reading, group discussion and a video presentation by Jeff Cavins or Dr. Tim Gray.

The Bible Timeline is the first foundational study in The Great Adventure Bible Study Series. It is basic enough to suit those who haven't studied the Bible before, while at the same time offering ways to go deeper that will challenge the Bible study veteran.
1st Corinthians covers the conflicts of the early Christians in Corinth and in many ways it is similar to our struggles today as Christians. With divisions, immorality, persecution, and other trials of the faithful, the message of St. Paul to the Corinthians is a much-needed message for our own times.
Acts is the third Step in The Great Adventure Bible Foundational Study Program, Acts: The Spread of the Kingdom, builds on The Bible Timeline and Matthew by showing how Christ’s Kingdom on earth is empowered to carry out his work in the world
EPIC - The history of the Church is the story of our family. It is the epic story of our ancestors in the Faith – the heroic men and women who shaped civilization and spread the Gospel throughout the world. For more information go to: http://ourcatholichistory.com/
