Over 200 people gathered in Kearny last Saturday to embark on a journey through the Bible. Jeff Cavins, renowned Catholic Bible teacher led the Great Adventure Bible Timeline, a one day seminar that gives an overview of the Bible. It teaches the story in a way that is easy to remember and helps people to continue reading Scripture on their own. Hundreds of thousands of Catholics have learned to read the Bible through this system, which provides a solid foundation for all other reading and study.

This is what Cardinal George, O.M.I., Archbishop of Chicago has to say about this program: "I am impressed with the methodology and growth of The Great Adventure: A Journey Through the Bible. The canonical approach that The Great Adventure employs is a marvelous way to introduce the faithful to salvation history. When Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium are all brought together in study the result is a clearer picture of God's will, resulting in a roadmap for living. The Great Adventure, being faithful to Dei Verbum (the Second Vatican Council's Constitution on Divine Revelation), is bearing much fruit in the Church today and contributing to a stronger, more informed laity."

Many who attended the event on Saturday are interested in either joining a bible study group or in facilitating one. If you are interested in joining a bible study group, contact Liliana Soto-Cabrera via email at sotolili@rcan.org.
