Let the Scriptures enrich your spiritual life! In this course, you will explore the Gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke. Two weeks will be devoted to each gospel. Articles by Dr. Philip A. Cunningham help participants gain an overview of each gospel's features, learn about its setting, the evangelist who wrote it, and the community for which it was written. Videos featuring Fr. Michael Himes focus on key insights. Then, explore practices to use the gospel in prayer and reflection on your life. No previous experience in Scripture study is necessary.
