Wednesday Morning Bible Study Will Resume on October 8, 2025

In October, our small group Bible Study session will resume. We will be taking a look at the creation stories (there are 2 of them); the stories we are all familiar with: Cain and Abel; the Great Flood; and basic Bible history from Adam through Joseph (the one with the attention-grabbing coat). Hand in hand with these stories are the covenants made with God – the vital part of every story.

Our first session will begin on October 8th. The book we will be using is entitled Pentateuch I– A Liguori Catholic Bible Study. Its focus is on the books of Genesis and Exodus, Books are $15. Books to be ordered must be prepaid to the Church office by September 26th. (Cash or check payable to St. Joseph Church).

We will skip the long lists of genealogies (along with the laws and rituals in
Exodus) and concentrate on the stories themselves. Hopefully, this approach will make it easier to more fully understand the relationship of the Old Testament to the New Testament. Despite skipping genealogies, we’ll answer the questions that have come up: “Who was Enoch?” and by chapter 4 in Genesis, we will, no doubt, be talking about one of the first “contradictions” in the Bible that skeptics point out.

We meet on Wednesday mornings from 8:45 for about 90 minutes. Everyone is welcome to join; there are no written tests, no prerequisites other than a desire to learn more about a small part of God’s written word. You will also need a Catholic Bible. The Scripture texts referenced in the book, Pentateuch I, are from the New American Bible revised edition, but any Catholic Bible edition is good.
