Course Description: Focusing on the Gospels of Mark and John, we will take an in-depth look at the life of Christ. We will examine different prophecies that predicted His coming and why He had to come. We will see how Jesus' baptism is linked to His crucifixion and how that is linked to our own baptism. The temptation of Jesus will be examined as well as His parables. We will look at the following questions: What did Jesus teach about the end of the world? What is a Marcan sandwich? Why is John's Gospel so different? Why do Catholics read the Gospels so differently than “Bible-Christians”? Why if Jesus didn't rise from the dead we are all in trouble ... and much, much more. You won't be disappointed.
Course Materials: A Catholic Bible preferable RSV-CE Revised Standard Version or New American Bible
Homework: Weekly quizzes
Answer Key: An answer key is not included with this course.
