Bible studies?

Has anyone heard or used a good bible study for lent? I am in charge of my young adult bible study and am a little lost since I can’t find anything on the internet or in my bookstore. So far I am think of focusing on the stations of the cross and the seven words of Jesus and Mary. Thanks for all your help!

God Bless,

Do oyou want to use books or would video be appropriate? If videos would be good, you may wish to consider using Fr. John Corapi tapes available through EWTN. Watching his lectures during Lent is very wonderful. It is like being on a retreat; he is very wise and easy to understand and teaches well. You can reach EWTN on ewtn.com/ and then go to catalog or call them on the phone. They have customer service reps who will be happy to help you. God bless you for the work you are doing.

Although there are some deficienies in it, the Little Rock Scripture Studies does have a 7 week study on the Passion and Resurrection Narratives.

For more information on these deficiencies see the current discusion thread Little Rock Scripture Study: What’s it like?

For the past couple of years, my parish has had a program called Community of Disciples that used the comming up Sunday readings as the basis for a Scripture study during Lent. The group I was in used material from a site called Emmaus Journey. Specifically the Reflecting on Sunday’s Reading under Catholic Small Group Resources. It was half decent basis for the study.

On using the “Passion of the Christ” as a study. A number of parishes around here did that last year using the guide mentioned on the Catholic Exchange site mentioned in Post #2. I have the guide and it is a very good guide to the movie. How it would be for a Scripture study for the Lenten season, I have no idea.

I hope this helps.

Scott Hahn has Bible studies available on www.salvationhistory.org

We have also used the Catholic Serindipity Bible (published by Zondervan) - it has many Bible Study guides.

I checked out the Scott Hahn site. There is some really excellent material available on that site.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I am going to have a lot of stuff to look at now. I love Scott Hann work but afraid it is going to be too long for our bible study. The next four weeks of the bible study are on the Theology of the Body then I think we are going to study the station of the cross, the charcters from the passion and the seven words between JESUS and Mary for the four weeks leading to Easter. But things are not set in stone yet so I am going to continue to look. As for the Passion study we did it last year. It is a pretty good study. I learned alot about the passion but also a lot about Gibson ability to preach the little things about the bible and catholism that he put into the movie. Would recommend just reading it on your own if you get a chance.
 
The Bible I study I attend just watched the Passion and will be following the curriculum that goes along with it (there is a workbook).
 
the bible studies from Emmaus Road, distributed by Word Among Us are orthodox, 6-8 weeks, come with a participant guide and journal, very user friendly for group led by a facilitator, price is right, volume discount.
