Genesis 4-5 Cain and Abel

This Bible study opens with Hebrews chapter 11. "By faith Abel brought God a better offering." Join Father Ed as he reflects on the tragedy of Cain and Abel when the second generation of humanity gives in to violence and murder. Listen as he deals with such questions as, "Where did Cain get his wife?" and "Why was Seth chosen for the lineage of the Messiah?"

Genesis 2-3 Adam and Eve

This Bible study opens with St. Paul's discussion of the first Adam who brought sin into the world and the New Adam, Jesus Christ, who set the world free from sin. Adam's sin creates the need for redemption and so sets in motion God's plan of salvation. In many ways the story of Adam and Eve is the foundation, not just of Christianity, but of all religion everywhere, as it forms the outline of all religion. Man enjoyed a relationship with God. That relationship was severed by sin. That relationship must be restored. Join Father Ed as he explains how important a proper understanding of sin and the fall is to understanding our salvation through Christ.

This Bible study reflects on the meaning and impact of the creation story of Genesis Chapter 1. How can we best understand this story in light of recent scientific advancements? How does it relate to Saint John's prologue to his gospel? How does it reflect my relationship with Christ and the natural world? Join Father Ed as he discusses these very important topics.
