SOTW III/4 The letters of Paul can be hard to follow, especially as we hear only excerpts from longer arguments. It might be hand to see how to read as a whole a letter of St Paul. We will take as an example his earliest letter, which is also one of the warmest (1 Thessalonians)

The hunger for justice—present throughout the BIble—is most keenly felt in the prophetic book. The Prophets: contrasting the “royal system” (domination and passivity) and the “prophetic system” (critique and action); the call to justice and an integrated faith, expressing itself in action.
Every Sunday, a Psalm is prayed at the Liturgy of the Word. What are the Psalm? Can we say anything about their original context before looking at their use as Christian prayer.
To provide a frame for understanding the Hebrew Bible, a brief sketch of the History of Israel will be given, looking especially especially the Great Exile and the formation of “Judaism” and the books of the Bible.
The foundational part of the OT is called by the Jews "the five books of Moses" and by Christians the Pentateuch: what is it and why is it important? How to read it critically. the importance of Genesis (Adam, Abraham) and Exodus (Moses).
We begin again with the current context of faith and church. What the roots of our faith? The relationship between Christianity and the mother religion of Judaism (NB Romans 9-11). Why bother with the Old Testament is often asked and so we look at the place of the Old Testament in current faith and practice. Naturally there are difficulties with the Old Testament - how do we "deal" with them? Finally, there is a difference between the “OT” in the Bible of the Jews, Protestants, Orthodox and Catholics.

SOTW I/5 Who is “the Jesus” of this particular Gospel? Does it speak to us today? Using the next six Sundays, a brief sketch of this Gospel's presentation of the Lord will be offered.
SOTW I/4. Each year has a Gospel assigned to it: Matthew, Mark, Luke (none for John). The Gospel of the current liturgical year: context (place, date, authorship), lay-out (narrative plot etc.), major ideas.
SOTW I/3 What is a Gospel? This might seem a very obvious question, but the different ways of looking at the Gospels lead to different understandings. In general today, people thinks of the Gospels as an adaptation of the classical bios or biography.
SOTW I/1 We begin by looking at the current context of faith and church; we will notice the resources for renewal, especially the Scriptures; the Bible as the word of God; because critical reading can be difficult, a short presentation on church documents, esp. Evangelii Gaudium, will be offered.
SOTW I/2 It can be puzzling to following selection of readings, although there is an interesting pattern underneath. The lay-out of the lectionary and the thinking behind it; distinguishing Ordinary Time, from Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter.

SOTW III/6 The Acts of the Apostles (Eastertide). The store of actions takes the story of the Christian movement beyond the resurrection and outside Israel. What was the purposes of the Acts? Did the writer use sources? Is there a "theology" of the church in this document?
SOTW III/5 St Paul has had a huge influence in the ways Christians have looked on Jesus, as the key to their lives. Today, as search for new ways of understanding "what happened for us in Christ", St Paul has some proposals.
SOTW III/4 The letters of Paul can be hard to follow, especially as we hear only excerpts from longer arguments. It might be hand to see how to read as a whole a letter of St Paul. We will take as an example his earliest letter, which is also one of the warmest (1 Thessalonians)
SOTW III/3 We give special attention to St Paul: his person, culture, conversion, ministry, letters (distinguishing original and Deutero-Pauline).
SOTW III/2 How is the Second Reading chosen? To understand better what we hear on Sunday, examine the lay-out of the Lectionary regarding the second reading. The use of Paul, Acts, the letters of John.
SOTW III/1 Once more, we turn to the current context of faith and church, with particular emphasis on the metaphors for “the Jesus event” (salvation/redemption). A key figure is the evolution of Christian is St Paul, the first Christian writer to come down to us. His letters from the spinal cord of the Second Reading on Sundays.
SOTW II/6 The hunger for justice—present throughout the BIble—is most keenly felt in the prophetic book. The Prophets: contrasting the “royal system” (domination and passivity) and the “prophetic system” (critique and action); the call to justice and an integrated faith, expressing itself in action.
SOTW II/5 Every Sunday, a Psalm is prayed at the Liturgy of the Word. What are the Psalm? Can we say anything about their original context before looking at their use as Christian prayer.
SOTW II/4 To provide a frame for understanding the Hebrew Bible, a brief sketch of the History of Israel will be given, looking especially especially the Great Exile and the formation of “Judaism” and the books of the Bible.
SOTW II/3 The foundational part of the OT is called by the Jews "the five books of Moses" and by Christians the Pentateuch: what is it and why is it important? How to read it critically. the importance of Genesis (Adam, Abraham) and Exodus (Moses).
SOTW II/2 The Old Testament is used differently in Ordinary Time and in the Seasons. We will explore the use of the Old Testament in the lectionary, taking as an example the next six Sundays. The very best use of the OT is probably in Lent, when the first readings are laid out with great pastoral care for years A, B and C. A good question is do we as Christians make our own the sacred texts of the Jewish People?
SOTW II/1 We begin again with the current context of faith and church. What the roots of our faith? The relationship between Christianity and the mother religion of Judaism (NB Romans 9-11). Why bother with the Old Testament is often asked and so we look at the place of the Old Testament in current faith and practice. Naturally there are difficulties with the Old Testament - how do we "deal" with them? Finally, there is a difference between the “OT” in the Bible of the Jews, Protestants, Orthodox and Catholics.
NB: this is a provisional date; the group may choose to have the final input on 22 Dec 2014 @ 8.00 pm.
SOTW I/6 We read the Gospels in order to follow the teaching of Jesus. How is being a disciple described in the Gospel of this year? Does it speak to today? Using the next six Sundays again to illustrate the teaching on discipleship.
