Learning more about
the historical aspect of scripture, the
context in which it was written, the
language used, and the images evoked
assists us in developing a richer
understanding of scripture and its
relationship in our lives. This section
offers a wide variety of materials,
including audio and visual lessons on
scripture, on-line scripture study you
can do at home, as well as where you can
attend workshops or sessions on
scripture study in the archdiocese. This
material will periodically be updated.
