St. John’s Adult Bible Study will be presenting Romans: The Gospel of Salvation by Jeff Cavins and Andrew Swafford in video presentation on Thursday evenings (excluding Halloween) beginning on September 26th through November 21st. The eight sessions include the presentation along with small group discussions from 7:00 -9:00 PM in the School Annex.
Paul’s letter to the Romans has been at the center of reflection, conversion, and controversy from the very beginning. Indeed, many Catholics fear that Romans is too “Protestant.” But understood correctly, as St. Paul intended, Romans is authentically Catholic.
Romans reveals that salvation is not merely the removal of a guilty verdict; it is about entering into Christ’s life, death, and resurrection and sharing in his divine life. In Jesus Christ all the hopes and expectations of Israel are fulfilled, leading to the universal (catholic) family of God. Participation in a study such as this will help us to better understand the readings we hear at our Sunday liturgies and to integrate them into our daily lives.
