St. Paul's Letters From Prison
St. Jerome Bible Study will launch a 10-week study titled “St. Paul’s Letters From Prison” on Tuesday evening, April 13, from 7:30 to 9pm online via Zoom. The study will run for 10 consecutive Tuesday evenings. Next to Jesus, St. Paul was the most influential person on the thought and teachings of the early Christian Church. St. Paul is famous, among other things, for his numerous incarcerations “for the defense of the gospel” (Phil 1:16) and for the letters he wrote from prison to several first-century Christian communities and his friends. Join us on Tuesday evenings as we explore some of Paul’s writings and encounter his tremendous love for Jesus and Jesus’ followers. For more information and to register for the course, email Steve Picard at sjpicard526@att.net. All are welcome. No experience necessary.
This study is not a lecture series. We run more like a book club, and will use the following resources:
Bible: New American Bible (Revised Edition)
This is one of many good translations. It is a Catholic translation (73 book canon w/imprimatur) and is used at Mass in the dioceses of the United States. The New Revised Standard is another Catholic translation used at Mass in other English-speaking countries. Also, see the website of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops: usccb.org.
