The Bible Timeline — Ascension
Offers more than commentary and a reflection on Scripture. Using a combination of home study, small group discussion, commentary and lectures from seasoned Scripture scholars and teachers on DVD, these Bible studies help people dig into God’s Word and make it their own. By working through the lesson at home, readers are given the background for an informed reading of the Bible. They are drawn into the text and discover the literal sense of the reading for themselves, and then consider it in light of the teachings of the Catholic church and in the greater Biblical context. Following this, small group discussion brings in different perspectives and reinforces what people have learned. This prepares participants for the lecture on DVD which wraps up the lesson and takes people a step further into the spiritual sense of Scripture and how it applies to their lives. Online video access is available for 1 year from product purchase date.
The Bible Timeline is a 24-lesson series that helps participants get the “big picture” of the Bible. They learn the story told by the fourteen narrative books of the Bible. They learn the twelve key historical periods, and they find out how the people, places, events and covenants of the Bible fit together. Helps bring the Scripture readings at Mass to life. Order one set of video lectures for your group and order one Participant Workbook for each member of the group. A Leader Guide is available from the publisher as a free download. (©2006, 2011)
Matthew: The King and His Kingdom is a 24-part study, builds on the foundation laid in The Bible Timeline.

Unlocking the Mystery of the Bible is an excellent way to launch a parish Bible study program or to build interest in adult faith formation. This simple, accessible program uses the Bible Timeline learning system to give people a useful framework from which to read and understand the Bible. Jeff Cavins takes a chronological walk through the Bible story in a way that reveals God’s plan for His Creation; what went wrong at the beginning; and how God worked through history to reconcile his lost children to Himself while building His kingdom. You’ll need one DVD set of video lectures for your group, one Participant Workbook for each participant, and a Leader Guide. (©2015)
