Bible Study

[Dusty Fro]

Do Catholics go to Bible studies outside of church? I know one Catholic lady in my town who had one with her (large extended) family, but I want to know if this is a regular practice. Has your church ever arranged Bible studies in your community for parishoners

Also I am a Bible study Leader.

The Liturgy of the Hours which has been chanted amongst us Benedictines for at least the last 1600 years is about 90 % Bible Goodness.

Have you ever heard of of Scott Hahn?

He converted himself through the Bible.

Yes, there are many Bible studies at the parishes around here. Emmaus Road Press publishes some great study materials for lay Catholics. Also Ignatius Press has their Bible with commentary that is being released, it has study questions and jazz, looks really good.

God bless.

Yes, our parish has one on the first and third Tuesdays of the month.

And there is a Scott Hahn online bible study studying the historical books of the OT, as well as the Gospels, Acts, and Revelations in the NT. When I get home, I can post the link (unless someone beats me to it).

catholic exchange offers a bible study authored by scott hahn and mark shea. it comes w/ outlines, study notes, and review questions. my twin matt leads a bible study w/ this material for his parish and he's had nothing but awesome things to say about it. actually, his group is "group of the month" at the site where you can get more info.

go [url="http://css.catholicexchange.com/"][b]here[/b][/url]. scroll down to the very bottom to see my bro and his peeps.

anyway, the catholic exchange scripture study is the best one available, in my opinion. i mean, look who wrote it for cryin out loud.

The Newman club here at Penn State offers several Bible studies. As an aside, they are trying to impose a formal program on us, and my little community is happy the way it is, so we're going to secede from Newman and do our Bible study under the auspices of the Byzantine Catholic Student Ministry. Must be my traditionalist mentality at work here.

My parish offers a Bible study. But I usually go to Bible study at my friends house. Lots of fun, fellowship, etc., and you can safely drink the coolaid.

Sounds rather Protestant to me, don't like the Catholic Church way, bail and start your own group...outside the CONTROL of the information Nazi's, huh?

Good for you. When I went to PSU, we were mostly into anti war rallies and all that. Religion didn't have any role, there was a Campus Crusade for Christ, but they were small, that is the only one I could recall from those tumultous times.

Phi Kappa Psi here.

Yeah, except the power we're resisting isn't God-ordained, we're still going to be members of the Newman club, the Newman leadership doesn't care that we're sitching affiliations, etc.

Btw, Campus Crusade for Christ is big, loud, and obnoxious these days.

I attend several inter-denominational bible studies (including Campus Crusade).

I'm at a Benedictine-run seminary and I can second that statement!
