Where do we find the Mass in the Bible? What is the relationship between the two? In ten beautifully produced lessons, Parousia: The Bible and the Mass answers these questions and more.

In the latest video Bible study from the St. Paul Center, discover why the liturgy is a major theme that runs through the entire Bible, from Genesis to the Book of Revelation. We will not only look to the Law, the Prophets, and the life and teachings of Jesus, we'll also lean on the Doctors of the Church to enhance our understanding of the Mass. We’ll see how the New Testament is concealed in the Old, the Old is revealed in the New, and how both point directly to the Mass, the sign of the New Covenant.

Join host Scott Hahn to uncover how and why all of God’s action, in creation and redemption, is ordered to the Mass.

Parousia: The Bible and the Mass Leader Guide is just that—your resource to guide the participants through the study, giving you step-by-step directives. Filled with visually stunning masterpieces, this guide also contains all the material found in the study guide: lesson summary, Scripture readings, review and discussion questions, saint quotes, memory verses, and more. In addition, it includes text intended only for you, the leader. A prayer handout, an editable promotional poster, and a bulletin invitation are included with the guide in a digital format.

Journey Through Scripture is the St. Paul Center’s dynamic Bible study program designed to help ordinary Catholics grow in their knowledge of Scripture while deepening their understanding of the riches of their faith. Distinctively Catholic, Journey Through Scripture reads the Bible from the heart of the Church, considering both the Old and New Testaments and how they work together. It’s grounded in history, yet it actively engages topics faced by today’s Catholics. More than just an ordinary Bible study, it’s biblical catechesis.
