During the time of Jesus and that of the first Christian communities, Scriptures simply meant the bulk of what we call the Old Testament. Jesus often pointed out that the Hebrew Scriptures were fulfilled in his own person. Indeed, after the resurrection of Jesus the early Christian community read the events of Jesus (not least his passion, death, and resurrection) in the light of the Old Testament to the extent that Jesus Christ became the key of interpretation of the Bible. In this weekend seminar we shall examine in more detail what all this means in practice. There will also be time for personal reflection and prayer.
This retreat will be in English.
