Dear Friends, >From the 22nd to the 28th of March 2010, I am giving a course of the "Passion >Narratives" as found in the four Gospels to a group of lay people at St. >Britto's High School, Mapusa. It is given in the hope that we can bridge the >gap between Catholic ignorance of the Bible and the lastest scholarly research >being done in this field. But more than that, it's purpose is pastoral, in >offering fresh insights into the life of Jesus of Nazareth so as to increase >our faith and help us share in the eternal life which he promised. The timing >is scheduled that this course may be an appropriate preparation for the Holy >Week and the sacred Tridum.
I am aware that much of this material will also be interesting to people who have asked such difficult questions about the bible, and have never got any answers. It is for this reason, that to make it available to a much wider audience, I am putting the lectures up on the net, as we go on during this course in this week, so that people from all parts of the world who can't be physically present - can also benefit from the lectures on the "passion narratives" of Jesus. The lectures are available at http://passionnarratives.wordpress.com Feel free to pass this message around to all your contacts, whoever may be interested! Thanks, Richard D'Souza SJ
