“Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a definitive direction” (Verbum Domini §11,2). This course will look at the underpinnings of Christian Spirituality in Sacred Scripture as the revealed Word of God. We will also explore a number of different approaches of praying with and experiencing Scripture as an approach to encountering Jesus.  

​

What you can expect to do:

​

·      Explore sacred Scripture and its basis and role in the life of the Church as the Body of Christ.

·      Explore different traditions within the Church for encountering and resting in the presence and love of God.

·      Encounter Jesus as a Divine friend in sacred Scripture through prayerful reading and the working of the Holy Spirit.

​

Upon completion of this course, you will have been introduced to various approaches for engaging Jesus as the Word of God incarnate in sacred Scripture.
