We are following a new format this year as we journey through the Gospels. Each week begins with a presentation of some background material around the Gospel we are studying and the verses on which we are focusing. Occasionally, we will use videos to help us explore more about the setting, people, culture and environment of the time. Most of our time will be spent in listening to God, each other, and the words of scripture as a prayerful way of bringing the Truth of God alive in the stories and teachings we read.
This week we reviewed the variety of scholarship on the origins of the 4 Gospels that made it into the Bible. This week we also looked at a video that talked about the countryside through which Jesus walked. As the video explored the birth of Jesus our conversation evolved into reflections on the nature and role of angels in scripture, tradition and experience.
You are welcome to read the posted material each week to add to your insight and understanding of the sacred Word of God.
