About Make His Path Straight: A St. John The Baptist Bible Study
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to our community's first in-person bible study/podcast, Make His Path Straight: A St. John The Baptist Bible Study. The goal of this bible study is to invite each of us to gain a deeper…
understanding of what it means for us to participate in the scripture and tradition of the Chruch, gain a deeper understanding of scriptural texts by contemplating them alongside those in our tradition who have devoted their lives to understanding their depth of meaning, and ultimately by asking the question of what do these texts have to say about the way we live our lives today?
