Bible Study

I know, it's not exactly a writing topic. But it is a topic of interest to a lot of people. Since I'm Catholic, I look for Catholic Bible studies. Yes, they exist, and yes, they are awesome. The most well-known one among Catholic circles these days is the Great Adventure Bible Timeline series, which breaks the Bible into two sets of books: Narrative and supplemental. The narrative books tell the main story from Genesis to Acts; the supplemental books enhance the story, but aren't necessarily the plotline of the story. That's not to say they aren't important books; they are. But how may people have tried to read the Bible from start to finish and gotten stuck halfway through Exodus or the first few pages of Leviticus? that's what the GABT seeks to avoid. And it does a good job.

However, that series costs money. Lots of it, in fact; it's a set of videos and printing materials, so there's quite the start-up cost to get going. A similar study program that is available for free is the Agape Bible Study webpage, with dozens of Bible studies covering more than half the Old Testament and all of the New Testament. Lots and lots of stuff there, so it's worth checking out.

Another thing I found on their website just the other day is the Sunday Readings list. Now, those are easy enough to find; there are hundreds of sites that list the Sunday readings, including official church sites. But the Agape list isn't just the readings; it's also a study guide to the week's readings and how they connect and fit into the Church's teachings. That is a great resource, and one I'm definitely going to make use of here at home.

Check them out, and see the amazing stuff that's available for Bible study. You won't regret it.
