BCYC Immersion Scripture Track
- Session 1: June 18-23, 2023
The Second Vatican Council reminds us that “the study of the sacred page is the very soul of sacred theology” and St. Jerome famously wrote “ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” In the BCYC Immersion Scripture track for high school students, we will develop an understanding and appreciation of the Bible as the Word of God in the words of men. Themes such as biblical inspiration, inerrancy and authority shall be discussed; the four senses of Scripture will be highlighted; and specific applications of biblical typology will help bring the teachings of the Bible to life as they are understood in light of Christ and His Church.
