Advanced Biblical Studies
The Office of Evangelization and Catechesis offers in-depth advanced courses for individual books or related collections of books of the Bible. When in-person courses resume, courses will be offered at both central locations and in parishes. Live virtual classes will also be offered beginning in August 2021. Parishes interested in hosting these courses are encouraged to contact the office. Each course will focus on a particular book(s) of the Bible and will be taught by instructors who specialize in Sacred Scripture. These courses are especially designed for those who lead scripture study in parishes.
