The Gospel According to John Bible Study

left John is known as "the apostle whom Jesus loved" (John 20:2), and one of the three considered to be in the "Inner Circle" of Jesus' friends, along with Peter and James. His tenacity showed as John was the only apostle who was there at the foot of the cross when our Lord was crucified. Through the expert exegesis of Scott Hahn and Mark Shea you will be led through the multi-layered writings of St. John and discover much more than you probably ever realized about this Gospel..

The Book of Revelation Bible Study

The last book of the New Testament is also probably the most difficult and misunderstood book of the Bible. This is due to the fact that almost everything described in Saint John’s vision is symbolic of something else. The Early Church Fathers believed that the Book of Revelation was an icon of the Mass

“Indeed, the Word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between bone and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.” -Hebrews 4:12

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

“And such is the force and power of the Word of God that it can serve the Church as her support and vigor, andthe children of the Church as strength for their faith, food for the soul, and a pure and lasting fount of spiritual life” Dei Verbum 22 -CCC 131

The Church forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful....to learn the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. -CCC 132

”Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ”

-St. Jerome
