Catholicism Today

A Bible Study for Adults, Revised Edition

with PowerPoint Slides

John F Brug

This revised edition Bible study looks at the teachings and practices of modern Roman Catholicism and compares them with what the Bible teaches. Throughout the course, participants are asked to read certain sections of Scripture and evaluate the Catholic Church's position on the basis of the readings.
New features in this edition include updated statistics and current information about the Roman Catholic Church, including quotations from and explanations of some of the more recent official Vatican documents. Everything needed to organize and instruct this Bible study is included on the CD-ROM, which contains PDF and RTF files of both the student lessons (48 pages, 8 1/2 x 11" when printed) and the leader's guide (50 pages, 8 1/2 x 11 " when printed) complete with student answers and closing prayers. The CD-ROM also contains PowerPoint slides that accompany each lesson (543 slides total over nine lessons). Each of the nine lessons can easily be adapted into more than one class period if instructors want a longer course that allows for more discussion. The nine lessons are:
Introduction
The Papacy
Scripture and Tradition
Justification
The Sacraments
Mary, the Saints and Purgatory
Renewal of Worship and the Parish
Marriage and Sexual Law
Reaching Out to Catholics
