Denver Bible study:

It’s not just for Protestants anymore

Through parish Bible study groups, Catholics are growing in understanding of scripture, enlivening their faith, and getting closer to God and one another.

We are now beginning our recruitment of new students for the second-year of the Catholic Biblical School, school year 2003-2004. Classes begin in mid September and run until mid May. All classes meet once a week for 2 hours.

Catholic Biblical School of Denver founded in 1982 to help adults in the Archdiocese of Denver learn to know, love, and live scripture, the Catholic Biblical School Program offers a proven program of in-depth Scripture study in the Catholic tradition. It provides both an understanding of the meaning of God's word and the application of its message to our lives today.

The Catholic Biblical School Program offers adults a four-year course of study of Sacred Scripture in accord with the teachings of the Church and with reference to its application to contemporary life. The goal of the Catholic Biblical Study is to understand our journey in this life, become renewed, a closer relationship with our creator and activate God word in daily living.

Minnesota Deacon Gary Hoffman tells people that if they take this course and stay with it, it is the equivalent of 24 to 26 college credits over the course of four years. The Denver Bible School Program differs from others in that it is very academic, yet practical. Denver's is a scripture study course.

The Denver Bible Study Program is a historical-critical study of Scripture. People who complete the four-year course remark that they better understood the Sunday scripture readings; they began to understand what they were called to do once the Word was broken open by the preacher. This is an important factor for all people that the knowledge gained be balanced by a call to action.
