Class Handout

Is Scripture the Word of God? Instinctively we would say yes but the answer is a bit more nuanced. In this class we shall see that Scripture is indeed the way through which God wants to speak to us but also that certain conditions are required for this to happen.

Scripture is a very human book, it reflects the mentality, culture, and even prejudices of its many authors. Hearing what God says through it requires faith, and a great deal of dedication and patience!”

The Adult Education program at Saint Thomas Church offers sound Christian teaching presented with intellectual vigor, teaching that is grounded in Holy Scripture, mediated by the catholic tradition that is the inheritance of Anglicanism and set forth in the Book of Common Prayer. For more information about our theology program, please contact Fr. Luigi Gioia, Theologian in Residence.
