Discover Joshua, a faithful leader carrying out God's commands followed by the deteriorating faith and failure of the Judges but concluding with the heart-warming story of grace and redemption in Ruth!
This 28 lesson study examines three important books of the Old Testament:
The Book of Joshua is a historical account of how the Israelites conquered Canaan, the land God promised them in the covenant with Abraham. The book details Joshua's obedience to God, the bloody yet miraculous battles and the division of the land among the 12 tribes.
The Book of Judges records the Israelites' descent into sin and the terrible consequences. The 12 heroes of the book seem larger than life but they were imperfect, just as we are, which makes this book just as relevant today. Judges is a stern reminder that God punishes sin but is always ready to forgive the repentant sinner back.
The Book of Ruth while only 4 chapters in length is one of the most moving accounts in the Bible. A story of love and loyalty, you will be amazed by the many layers and depths of meaning packed into this little love story!

About Catholic Scripture Study
Catholic Scripture Study International is a program whose members not only study the Sacred Scriptures, but through them, come to a deeper understanding of their Catholic faith in a setting that builds Christian fellowship.Classes are suitable for beginners through advanced levels. The selected study for each year is studied within the context of the whole Word of God, Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium. Each lesson includes study commentaries written by leading Scripture Scholars and authors; references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Papal encyclicals, Writings of the Early Church Fathers and the Saints. Every lesson is accompanied by a weekly 30-minute video lecture presented by a Catholic priest.
CSS, which includes groups around the world, runs from September to May. CSS study groups meet weekly for 25-28 weeks depending on the study. Additional study tools are available to students on the CSS Program website, such as online bibles, the Catechism, as well as maps, pictures and articles. Visit www.cssprogram.net for more information. For your convenience, there are morning and evening classes available. The two groups meet once a week in the Parish Office, Room 111:9:30 -11:30 a.m. on Wednesdays
