Old and New Testaments Concluded: (Year Four, Student Workbook): The Word in the Hellenistic World (Catholic Biblical School Program)

Year four examines God’s word as it resonates in the Hellenistic culture that dominated the Mediterranean world from the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC. Most of the books studied this year attempt to cope with this new situation. Students will study the Old Testament wisdom literature, then a variety of post exilic Jewish writings (including the deuterocanonical books), and finally the Gospel According to Matthew, the New Testament letters not studied in second year, and Hebrews. +
