How Does It Work?Print Article

The Journey Through Scripture series is presented by people trained through the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology – people just like you.  Presenters need not have a degree in Theology or an advanced level of academic expertise - or even a previous background in the study of Sacred Scripture!  The program is suited to faithful Catholics living an active sacramental life who want to grow in their knowledge of the Bible and are willing to make an effort to study, read, and pray — to enter into the Word of God and share it with their fellow Catholics.

“Everything was given to
start a parish Bible study.
You did all the work
making it easy!”

~ Trained JTS Presenter

We know that the task of putting on a parish Bible study can be daunting. For this reason, the St. Paul Center tries to take as much of the burden off of the presenters as possible. After training, participants receive Presenter’s Notes for each session. This is no mere outline. It is the actual Bible study presentation; word-for-word.

In addition, presenters receive a PowerPoint presentation of the study. The Power Point is displayed at the same time the presenter is speaking. This means students receive instruction that is both oral and visually dynamic.

We also provide student outlines and notes which follow the Presenter Notes. The outlines follow the PowerPoint presentation and the notes are detailed summaries of each session for review.  Presenters receive these in both paper and electronic form.


All Attendees Receive:
  • Presenter’s Notes
  • Student Notes
  • Student Outlines
  • PowerPoint Presentation
  • Practical Training
  • Ongoing Support from the
    St. Paul Center

Our support doesn’t end with just the materials of the study. We have templates for advertising your study as well. Just email us the pertinent logistical information and we’ll create bulletin inserts and posters for you.

But that’s not all! We provide you with registration forms that are custom made for Journey Through Scripture and will even send out certificates of completion to all of your participants.

Finally, The St. Paul Center offers free ongoing theological support to presenters.  In the months and years after you receive your training, we remain available to help you find answers to the difficult questions that may come up in your study groups. Send us your questions and we’ll get you the answers.

The Journey Through Scripture program makes studying God’s Word exciting, fruitful and simple.
