We have just begun an in depth look at the Gospel according
to John. This study will correlate the message of John with the
Synoptic Gospels and the writings of St. Paul to show how there
was a common understanding of the main Christian teachings
during the first century. This series of readings will show how
God of his free will and great love for humanity entered the human
arena and is for us in our daily life.
For the last 200 years the education of clergy and religious leaders
in Europe has had a devestating effect on the life of the Church and
consequently also on society. Some of the threads of what was
taught in major European universities will be reviewed along with
how this has affected the American Church and our understanding
of the Bible and Gods work in this world.
As we look at attempts that have been made to correct the errors of
the past, we will look at the lives and testimony of Christians who have
maintained a faithful witness to Jesus Christ in modern times.
