About Journey Through Scripture

Journey Through Scripture is the St. Paul Center’s flagship Bible study program designed to help ordinary Catholics to grow in their knowledge of the Scriptures while deepening their understanding of the riches of our faith. Journey Through Scripture takes a holistic approach, looking at the entire Bible and how all of its parts work together. It’s grounded in history, yet vibrantly connected to the life of the Church today. Originally intended for Parish-based studies, we’re making it easier than ever to complete the study yourself or host a small group.

We want to get these studies into the hands of as many people as possible. And last year we reached more than 100,000 people in 140 countries. You can now do our popular Bible and the Virgin Mary and Bible and the Sacraments studies and see for yourself why people love Journey Through Scripture.

“This was the best study I have been to since I became Catholic almost thirty years ago.”

Presenters don’t need to have a degree in Theology or an advanced level of academic expertise – or even a previous background in the study of Sacred Scripture! This program is designed to be given by faithful Catholics living an active sacramental life who want to grow in their knowledge of the Bible and are willing to make an effort to study, read, and pray — to enter into the Word of God and share it with their fellow Catholics.

The goal of Journey Through Scripture is to help people read the Bible from the heart of the Church. More than just a Bible study, it’s biblical catechesis. Highlighting the pattern of promise and fulfillment that the Catechism and the Lectionary teach us to expect, we read the Old Testament in light of the New and the New Testament in light of the Old — all the while respecting the literary and historical integrity of both Testaments. Our guiding principles are points 101-133 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

 

“Great program. This is the evangelization of the Catholic Church that I was looking for.”
