Synopsis

Discover the only officially approved Catholic way to read Scripture!Have you ever been bogged down by the very different ways different Bible studies approach the Bible?Have you found Bible study dull, inane or simply not your "cup of tea"?Have you found yourself daydreaming during the Sunday Scripture readings at Mass?Then this Scripture study is for you!In just eight sessions, you will learn how to read the Scriptures like the greatest Christians who ever lived, and you don't have to learn Greek, Hebrew or Latin to do it!The Sensible Scripture Study shows you the simple techniques used by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, men like Jerome, Augustine, Chrysostom and Aquinas! In fact, if you know what to look for, you can even see St. Paul use these techniques in his epistles.And where did they learn these techniques? A close study of the Gospels makes it obvious - they learned how to do this from Jesus Himself! Yes, the techniques described in this Scripture study are based on how Jesus' explained His own parables to His apostles in the Scriptures.Because they blazed the trail, the hardest work has already been done - we need only to follow in their footsteps.It's called "the four senses of Scripture" and the effects are described in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 115-119. But while the Catechism describes what the four senses are, it doesn't tell us how to do it.This Bible study closes the gap! It shows you exactly how to implement the four senses, and draw forth the the deep meaning of the Scriptures in a way that is accessible to anyone. It is the first Scripture study to make these techniques available to the layman!
