Your questions answered.

What is the St. Paul Center?

The St. Paul Center is a nonprofit research and educational institute that promotes life-transforming Scripture study from the heart of the Church.

Our mission is to empower priests and laity with the tools they need to read and understand the Word of God in a way that is both personal and faithful to the perennial teachings of the Catholic Church.

We accomplish this through our online courses, numerous popular level and academic books on Scripture and theology, and in-person parish events across the country.

What is Bible Across America?

Bible Across America is a nationwide Bible study movement hosted by the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology featuring leading Catholic presenters.

Building on our success with Journey Through Scripture video bible studies, the goal is to empower Catholics and Christians across North America to experience an "Emmaus Moment", encountering Christ in the pages of Sacred Scripture and through the doctrine of the Catholic Church.

By witnessing the transformative power of studying Scripture in community, Bible Across America will inspire Catholics across the nation to introduce communal Scripture study in their own homes and parishes.

Is the Bible Study free?

Yes! This Advent Bible study program is free until January 6th.

However, full access to our other Bible studies and courses will only be available during your 30-day free trial. You will be charged $25/monthly after your free trial expires. Don't worry though! You can cancel your membership anytime and we will send you a notification email before your free trial expires.

To access the Advent Bible study, sign up for a free trial of our All-Access Membership or become an Annual Member.*

*Credit Card required. No charge at signup or during the 30-day free trial. Cancel at any time.

**Your access to the Bible Study will remain free until January 6, however, your ALl-Access membership subscription to other courses and content will renew after the 30-day trial. Cancelling your subscription does not take away your access to the Bible Across America program.

If this is free, why do I have to enter my credit card information?

In order to give you free access to all of the St. Paul Center's digital content, we have to make you a member, which includes having your contact and credit card information in our system. As long as you cancel before your 30-day free trial, you will not be charged on your credit card.

We hope that you consider continuing and supporting our work. Your paid membership allows us to create high quality Catholic content with the goal of teaching Scripture from the heart of the Church.
