Scripture From Scratch - A Basic Bible Study Program

If you've always wanted to learn about the Bible from square one, here is square one! Scripture From Scratch is an experience of God's word for all Catholic adults who want to know more about the Bible but don't know where to begin. No previous Bible study is required or even expected, although Scripture From Scratch will also be of benefit to those who have already had some experience with the Bible. The heart of the Scripture From Scratch program consists of lively, information-packed lectures by religious educators Dr. Elizabeth McNamer and Virginia Smith. Firmly rooted in authentic Catholic biblical scholarship, Scripture From Scratch guides you through an overview of the Bible, followed by an overview of the Old Testament, an overview of the New Testament, and finally, an overview of the Gospels. The DVD format makes these programs even more accessible for individual use, for small-group Bible studies or for other parish formation groups.
