Lesson 1: Learning about the Bible Dead Sea Scrolls (2nd century BC – 1947 discovery) Languages of the Bible: OT = Hebrew NT = Greek Vulgate = Latin Translation (St. Jerome) Literary Forms OT = History, Law, Prophecy, Prayer, Wisdom NT = Gospel, Letters, History, Prophecy OT & NT form one whole that connects (Basilica)

Lesson 2: Genesis - Creation (2.1 Genesis continued) Origin of the Universe Science - shows material causes (big bang?) Bible - shows God as ultimate cause designed the universe set things in motion Evolution possible if God guides it
