LECTIO: Mark - Leader Guide

Augustine Institute

A New Curriculum for the New Evangelization The New Evangelization requires a new apologetics, that is, a defense of the faith that responds to the questions that believers and non-believers alike are asking today with philosophical and theological arguments rooted in Sacred Scripture, Catholic Tradition, and the best philosophical reflection available. Why Believe? offers just such a new apologetics and in a format that appeals to our contemporary desire for beauty. A year-long apologetics course, Why Believe? is intended for the use in the senior year of Catholic and independent high schools as well as by home educators and in home-school cooperatives. The curriculum consists of: - A two-volume textbook set - 60 short-form videos produced by the award-winning Augustine Institute Studios (available at formed.org/whybelieve). - A Teacher s Manual The textbooks and videos are marked by significant works of art, literature, and Sacred Scripture, offering teachers the opportunity to enliven the student's experience of the apologetic material. The Curriculum The Why Believe? curriculum is composed of a two-volume textbook set along with 60 short-form videos produced by the award-winning Augustine Institute Studios. Today's Catholic high-school students daily confront the implicit claim that our secular culture provides fully for human happiness. Why Believe? responds directly to that claim by a compelling argument that faith in Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God, is the only adequate answer to the human heart's desire for happiness. That argument unfolds over the 30 chapters of the two-volume textbook and is supplemented by two short-form videos per chapter. A significant feature of the Why Believe? textbooks is their beauty. Throughout the two volumes are dozens of high-quality photographic reproductions of significant artistic works. One of the series of videos provided on formed.org/whybelieve consists of commentaries on some of those artistic works. Teachers use the images in the text as the basis for their own expositions of the beauty of Catholic culture. The Why Believe? textbooks also include numerous discussions of significant works of literature (e.g. The Lord of the Rings, Macbeth, Pride &amp; Prejudice), compelling passages from Sacred Scripture (e.g., the Parable of the Prodigal Son and the Bread of Life Discourse from John 6), and the lives of Catholic witnesses and saints (e.g. St. Dismas, St. Polycarp, St. Augustine, Caryll Houselander, Fr. Walter Ciszek).

Sacraments in Scripture: Salvation History Made Present is a Bible study on the seven sacraments, prefigured in the Old Testament and instituted by Jesus Christ in the New.
Following the teaching of the Second Vatican Council and the Catechism of the Catholic Church on Sacred Scripture, Tim Gray delves into the biblical origin of each of these masterpieces of God's love. In Sacraments in Scripture, Tim Gray guides readers through the Gospels, showing Christ's deliberate acts that inaugurated these sacred signs as the foundation of the New Covenant.
With review questions at the end of each chapter, Sacraments in Scripture is ideal for both group and individual study and is perfect for instructing Catholics how to answer contemporary objections to the sacraments.

Pope John Paul II has called the Rosary a true doorway to the depths of the Heart of Christ, ocean of joy and light, of suffering and glory. Author Tim Gray celebrates this life-changing truth as he uncovers the deep scriptural roots of the five Luminous Mysteries?the Baptism in the Jordan, the Wedding of Cana, the Proclamation of the Kingdom, the Transfiguration, and the Institution of the Eucharist. In his foreword to The Luminous Mysteries, Archbishop Raymond L. Burke of St. Louis writes: Tim Gray is an outstanding teacher of the Catholic faith, as he has demonstrated by his other writings and his presentations given to a variety of audiences. His love of Christ is transparent in his writing and inspires the reader to love Christ more fully and ardently. The Luminous Mysteries: Biblical Reflections on the Life of Christ is a most worthy tool for growth in the knowledge of Christ and growth in Christ's likeness. This book also includes five meditations from the Church Fathers on the Luminous events!

The Great Adventure Bible Study Program The Great Adventure Bible Study Seminar teaches you the simplest way to approach the Bible by identifying a list of books that tell the story from start to finish. You will begin with them, reading them chronologically so as to get the “big picture.” When we remove the books that duplicate information, there are twelve such books in the Old Testament and, for the sake of simplicity, two in the New Testament. Anyone who reads these fourteen books will have a rough sequential knowledge of the history of the people of Israel and the beginnings of the Christian Church. Reading through the Bible historically can be compared to laying down fourteen segments of track for a train trip. As you travel along the historical route of the Bible, the teaching office of the Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, acts as a conductor explaining what you are seeing. About the Great Adventure The purpose of The Great Adventure Bible Timeline Seminar is to help you lay down the “train tracks”: to set your route through the Bible and get you prepared for a lifetime journey of discovering God in the Scriptures. In the process, it will: Identify the “narrative books” of the Bible – the fourteen books that will lead you chronologically through the story of salvation history – and show how the remaining fifty-nine books fit in Divide salvation history into twelve identifiable periods to help you remember the progression of the story (and include salient details from secular history to help you place salvation history in time) Explain how God’s plan unfolded through the forging of a series of covenants so that you can understand not just the story, but where it is going and how you fit in it Give you memory aids – like a band of colored beads to help you remember the twelve periods, a helpful bookmark and a colored chart of all the important information Give you a plan for reading through the fourteen narrative books on your own, and ways for continuing your reading beyond that

The Exodus can be viewed as the defining moment in Israel s history, for it was then that God called Israel out of slavery in Egypt and to a life of freedom as His people. Adventures in Exodus: Called to Freedom looks through the lens of Christ and the Church to show that more than just seeking to free His people physically from the domination of Pharaoh, God desired to free His people from the far more sinister tyranny of sin so they could live the authentic freedom that belongs to children of God. Because of this, the Exodus story is not just Israel s story, it is our story as well; it tells us who God is and what He calls us to be. Trace the themes of name, knowing, and service through Exodus and learn their significance to Israel and us. Learn the personal significance of God s revelation of His name, I AM . See the Exodus as far more than a dramatic rescue mission and understand the goal of freedom from sin. Discover the Divine purpose behind the plagues on Egypt as more than simply a demonstration of God's power. Learn the key to authentic freedom. Discover that God s Law is in fact a reflection of God s love and concern for His people. Understand the importance of the Sabbath to the identity of God s people. See how imagery from the Exodus permeates the New Testament as well as the Old and learn how a proper understanding of the Exodus event can illuminate one's understanding of the Christian Faith.
