Apologia: The Fullness of Christian Truth


``Where the Bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be;
even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church'' Ignatius of Antioch, 1st c. A.D


Bible Study Course in Real Audio


 

Scott Hahn and Jeff Cavins take us on a Real Audio tour of the Bible designed to give us "the Big Picture" and allow us a truly conceptual understanding of Sacred Scripture. The 13-lesson course covers 14 books (with optional books on the side) and is in chronological order. Read the readings then click on the lessons to hear Dr. Hahn and Mr. Cavins explain things.

The Readings links default to the King James Version at the Bible Gateway, except for the Maccabees readings (which were removed from the King James Bible in 1885). You can, though, select from many different versions at the tops of the readings pages. The readings will open in a new browser window.
