Utilising Jeff Cavins's innovative Bible Timeline (as used in the Bible in a Year Podcast with Fr Mike Schmitz), join us we jump right into the story of salvation over eight weeks.
This study is suitable for both beginners and for those who are experienced at Bible study because it simplifies the complexity of the Bible through an easy-to-follow narrative approach. It is a great way for you to get the “big picture” of Salvation History from the Catholic perspective, and to see how the Bible reveals God’s loving plan for your life.
