New Testament Visions of Faith

Fee: $60 | Six Weeks
When considering the meaning of Christian faith, we often focus on how the individual believes and acts.听 However, in the New Testament, true faith begins in God鈥檚 loving faithfulness towards us. Our faith, then, is a response of trust in God鈥檚 mercy.听

This course explores the various images of the call to faith presented in each of the Gospels, and in the letters of St. Paul. Such images include seeking right relationship, transforming the way we see the world, abiding in God, and other patterns for the life of discipleship.

featuring videos with听Dominic Doyle, Colleen Griffith, Kenneth Himes O.F.M., Jane E. Regan, John R. Sachs, S.J.
