Do you ever feel like our Catholic faith is just a series of meaningless rules and beliefs? In this course you will learn to connect the dots and discover what is behind the rules and their importance.
Special notes: Includes a writing component. Total classes: 13 Class dates: Wednesdays, September 6 to December 13, 2023. No class Nov. 1 (All Saints Day) or Nov. 22 (Thanksgiving Eve). Starting time: 1:00 PM Eastern (Noon Central 11:00 Mountain 10:00 Pacific) Duration per class: 55 minutes Prerequisite: None Suggested grade level: 9th to 12th grade Suggested credit: One full semester Literature, Theology, or History Fee: For all 13 classes: $217 if you register on or before November 15, $237 after Nov. 15. (Registration closes one week before the first day of class. After that date, registrations are not guaranteed. There is a $20 surcharge for late enrollments after the course is closed.) Instructor: Kevin O’Brien Course description: Sometimes our faith seems like a series of disconnected rules or bits and pieces of things we’re told that don't seem to fit together or make a lot of sense. But every part of what we believe as Catholics is not only of one piece, a “seamless garment” theologically, but the vast story of man from the Bible through the years of the Early Church, the Dark Ages, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and Modern Times is a vast story written by a vast Storyteller. This class will look at the Big Picture, especially the overall scope of Scripture, as well as at eternal themes that have run through literature and art through the ages. The goal is to make sense of it all and to see God’s great plan which includes both suffering and joy. Course outline: Class One: Introduction - Prehistory, Egypt and Early Civilization Class Two: Moses and the People of God Class Three: The Prophets Class Four: The Greeks: Socrates and Plato Class Five: Socrates and Christ Class Six: Christ Answers the Mystery - Revelation and Resistance Continues Class Seven: The Fall of Rome and the Rising of the City of God Class Eight: The Heresies Class Nine: Islam Class Ten: Christendom and Its Culture Class Eleven: The Reformation and Utopia Class Twelve: Totalitarianism Class Thirteen: Review and Conclusion Course materials: A Bible, any translation Materials provided FREE as PDF files by the instructor Homework: Lots of in-depth reading and two short papers (graded by the instructor).

Total Classes: 12 classes plus short daily (Monday to Friday) recorded lectures. Class Dates: Mondays, September 11 to December 11. No class meeting October 30 and November 20.

Instructor: Kevin O’Brien Course Description: “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ,” said St. Jerome. The aim of this course is to remedy the Scriptural illiteracy of the average Catholic, even the average devout Catholic. We will read and discuss various sections of the Bible throughout the semester, allowing the Holy Spirit to bring God’s Word to life in us and to reveal to us how everything in God’s Word is indeed “living” and how everything, even in the Old Testament, points to Jesus. Peter Kreeft says you don’t read the Bible the Bible reads you. He also says the Bible is “God’s love letter to us.” In this course, we will learn to read that love letter from God and we will end up being moved by it. Course Outline: We will read five readings from Scripture daily. Selections will be from: An Old Testament Historical book A Psalm An Old Testament Wisdom or Prophetic book A New Testament Epistle or non-Gospel reading A Gospel Mr. O’Brien will post a brief daily video lecture commenting on one or more of that day’s readings. We will then, during our live Monday gatherings, discuss the readings that made the biggest impression on us throughout the previous week. Course Materials: The Holy Bible, any Catholic translation, but we will especially focus on the variety of translations and interlinear versions available online. Homework: Five rather short daily readings from Scripture, plus a daily video of five to ten minutes to watch and comment upon. Plan on about an hour a day spent on Living Scripture. More
