Bible Tools quiz - brief multiple choice quiz on the 6 Bible Tools to be introduced early in the course. (30 pts) 3. Final project - see description below (50 pts) The final project for this course will be based on a 50 pt Group Project that integrates and applies objectives learned from the course into a mock lesson plan of which a summary is presented to the class on the last day of the course.

Reminder of OT prerspective - exile, questioning of faith, God, their role in covenant B. Journey to an Identity - recall much of what we have inherited from our Jewish heritage - Eucharist, Reconciliation, Liturgy, Priesthood - watch for its origins in salvation history C. 4 Categories 1. Pentateuch 2. Historical 3. Wisdom II. Pentateuch - from the Beginning up to, but not into, the Promised Land A. Foundation of an Identity, any relationship - courtship? getting to know one? B. MUCH MORE THAN Creation story and the Exodus story!!! C. Penta - teuch - 5 books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy D. Remember mostly written from this experience of exile - Not in the Land, Not in power E. Review highlights of each book 1. Ask for input, favorite stories as we go along 2. Use Bible tools to study certain stories Genesis - Pre-history and the Three Patriarchs (A-I-J and the 12 sons) Exodus - character, leadership of Moses and leaving behind physical slavery in Egypt - Passover and Last Supper/Eucharist, desert journey that binds, giving of the Law Leviticus - regulations for Worship, Sacrificial rituals, atonement, how to LIVE worship (Lev 19) Numbers - More of the desert journey, learning to trust God, each other, God s Providence Deuteronomy - reflection by Moses on this journey with God- his own, the Israelites BREAK - (and also work in groups on project) III. Brief Review of Bible Tools and Discussion 1. Call out Tools - catechists answer with where found, how useful 2. take some time in groups to share what was learned in homework IV.. Historical - the Conquest of the Land, Living in the Land A. Conquest 1. Joshua, Judges and Deborah 2. Lessons Learned A. Living in the Land 1. Samuel I and II, Kings I and II, Chronicles 2. Stories of the first kings of Israel 3. the Great King David and the Messiah Homework: Spend some time journaling re: your own spiritual journey. Then ask your child to do so. Depending on the age, it may be easier to have them draw it - perhaps as a timeline. Note similarities, differences to your own, to Bible stories you may be familiar with. Listen on
5 Sundays with your child for connections between stories of your ancestors in faith and your own. Closing Prayer : Priestly Blessing Num 6:22-27 DAY THREE: Opening Prayer Experience- Pray a psalm (your choice) antiphonally connect to how we pray at mass, how the monks pray, how prayer is a dialogue, the antiphon we sing at mass is a response Have men pray a section, then women, then all. I. Brief Review 4 categories and what OT really is about A.Pentateuch - Historical - Wisdom - Prophets B. Recall prism through which OT is written, how we must understand it - EXILE why are we NOT in the land and NOT in power??? ARE we still the Chosen People of God? C. As a whole, the OT is about IDENTITY, the journey of the Jews to understand who they are I. Wisdom - reminders on how to live as God s ppl A. Contrast style of writing with Pentateuch and Historical 1. I used Ex 3:1-3 and 2 Kgs 5:9-11 only because this was referenced in Sunday s gospel 2. Then ask them to browse through Psalms, Proverbs, Song of Songs - how does it physically LOOK differently? Ref Psalms of THEN serve similar purpose as Pop Songs NOW B. Use Bible Tool of Introduction of Ecclesiates- have them scan to get a sense of purpose of this book and how author uses this style of writing - point out familiar text To everything there is a season...ch 3??? BREAK (and also work in groups on project) III. Bible Tools Quiz IV. Prophets - before - during - and after EXILE A Contrast to rest of Old Testament 1. Have them find beginning of Isaiah and hold their place. Find where Matthew starts (end of prophets and OT). Have them hold that between their fingers and compare in size Prophets to the other 3 sections of OT combined = quite small. in time = 50 years vs 1500 years. 2. Only part of OT that speaks of Messiah - NOT entire OT!!! Idea of Messiah is written about, understood in the context of understanding the relationship, identity of Jews as God s people...nothing about Jesus or Mary or God becoming human. Xns added all that much later. B/ Recall the Exile experience 3. Ask - how many were NOT born in US? in South Florida? how many not raised in US?
6 4. Somewhere else will always be HOME - same experience as Jews living in exile. 5. Ask - what do you miss most of where you came from? How often do you go back? What are your feelings as that time to go back for a visit nears? 6. All is similar to experience of Jews in exile - longing for homeland, anxious, hopeful. C. Content of Message and style 1. Choose a passage from Isaiah or Jeremiah to look at to observe the style of writing often used in prophetic writing - unique, oracle style - Thus says the Lord. 2. The prophet speaks for God - calling us back to the covenant we have forgotten a. then and now, we forget the meaning of our worship and just go through the motions or pay God lipservice - our hearts, our living is not really affected - we need change b. Prophets read the signs of the times and call us to change, to re-commit to the Lord s ways, to change our hearts, our living - to be transformed. c. Often why we hear so much from the Prophets during Advent and Lent, penitential times I. Quick Re-cap A. OT is a journey to and IDENTITY B. OT categories of books show the formation of a PEOPLE C. OT tells us Who we are and WHOSE we are, HOW we are to live and worship DAILY and calls us to task when we lose our WAY. D. OT was Jesus heritage - and because we are baptized in Jesus - it is OUR heritage too. Homework: Part 1 - Using CCC and/or DV, find sections that discuss unity, continuity of OT/NT Part 2 - Talk with your children the next 2 weeks about origins and identity - your ethnic origins as a family, each of you as individuals - and your origins and identity as Catholics. Closing Prayer/ritual - Play/Sing song from mass that uses Isaiah (Is 40 - They that wait upon the Lord Is 43 - Be Not Afraid Is 49 - I will never forget you) DAY FOUR: Opening Prayer Experience- Lectio Divina - use something from Sunday NT readings I. Overview of OT/NT A. refer to newsprint or write on board B. Key events - Perspective - breakdown and organization of books for OT/NT II. Gospels - story of Jesus A. Culture and Experience shape Worldview - explain handout on Gospel overviews B. Handout gives culture, experience of audience, author C. Consider impact of 70 A.D. on these as well - no temple, key to identity as Jews D. Groups within Judaism (back of handout) - gives context when heard now in stories E. Application: Nativity story
7 1. On 2nd sheet of newsprint or write on board - ask catechists to give elements of Xmas story 2. Now, have catechists find elements in the gospel accounts - what do they notice? a. have men look in Mt and Mk and women look in Lk and Jn? b. or do in groups and encourage them to use handout to explain what they find 3. Report back and review - connect differences found to differences in culture, exp of author, audience III.PRIMA - another study method A. Explain steps B. Use a gospel story to practice method BREAK (and also work in groups on project) IV. Story of Church - Acts, Letters, and Revelation A. Acts - key, pivotal events: Pentecost (ch 2) and Council of Jerusalem (ch 15) 1. Pentecost - Birthday of Church! Contrast before/after exp of apostles, of Church 2. Challenges a. persecutions by Jews, Saul (ch 4-9) b. apostles need help, deacons (ch 6) c. Gentile conversions, Cornelius (9) 1. Council of Jerusalem (15) - Resolution, Turning point in focus Peter, now Paul - why? A. Letters 1. Pauline letters a. specific communities, specific issues b. learning, growing pains of communities c. Paul s authority often challenged by Jewish missionaries 2. Catholic letters a. universal in scope and message b. therefore attributed to author vs community (as in Pauline) 3. Application: (if time) look at I Cor 13 - but in CONTEXT of ch 12 B. Revelation 1. End times? or End of life as we know it? does it make a difference in understanding? 2. Put in context of time written - story of HOPE, not doom 3. Application: use Bible tools - Introduction to learn more about context Cross reference to find code used from times of OT prophets Closing Prayer: Lectio Divina - Acts 2: Day Five: Opening Prayer: PRIMA - I Application in Ministry A. Group Presentations of Lesson summaries applying new knowledge
8 B. Open Forum shared insights, observations, challenges, questions Closing Prayer: Eph 1: OR Phil 1: 3-7 Thanksgiving and Blessing
