Catholic Biblical Apologetics

Introductory Scripture Courses for Catholics

These are student handouts for three courses we developed in the late 1980's to be given in parishes to introduce Catholics to Scripture.

While today there are many available materials for Catholic Scripture study, in the late 1980's, there was very little appropriate material available. Therefore, we prepared these courses to fill in that gap. Although dated in some respects, you may find these materials useful for your Bible studies.

These are large files (~50 megabytes each) which are scanned PDF files of the original typed notes. Depending upon your connection speed, each file may take a minute to download.
