Religion

The young people’s exploration of the Old Testament begins with the story of Abraham and Sarah.  The themes of Revelation and Covenant are introduced; A study of the Exodus offers insight into the Christian belief in the deliverance through the Paschal mystery; The Old Testament history of the kingdom of Israel provides an understanding of teachings about the Kingdom of God in the New Testament; Prophets played a vital role in the religious awareness of the people of Israel and later in the understanding of Christ’s message. Exile and reconciliation are important themes; the Maccabean Revolt, religious sects, and hope for the Messiah mark the period before the coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ life and teachings are connected to God’s promises in the Old Testament.
