By Dr. Andrew Swafford
Hebrews: The New and Eternal Covenant is an 8-week Bible study program that takes Catholics on a guided tour of what is considered the “Holy of Holies” of biblical theology.
Presented by Dr. Andrew Swafford and Jeff Cavins, this study program draws out the meaning of the book of Hebrews in a simple way so Catholics can see, appreciate, and take hold of the riches God has given them in the New Covenant.
This Starter Pack contains...
- An 8-video DVD set filmed by well-loved Catholic experts
- A full-color workbook that includes session overviews, reading assignments, engaging study questions, helpful responses, and talk notes for the video presentations.
- One group study credit, which can be used to join or lead an online study group.
This Starter Pack is designed for…
- Leaders who want to have every component of the study.
- Leaders who wish to keep the Bible study videos forever.
For leaders in either category, the Starter Pack has everything you need to lead the study. Each group member will need to purchase a Workbook to join your group.
Videos are approximately 30 minutes each. If you wish to lead a small group but don’t want every component of the study, check out our Workbook right here.
Details
My Bible Study Group is more than half-way through the Hebrews study; and we have thoroughly enjoyed the rich theology and spirituality that is offered in each and every lesson. We have done just about all of the Great Adventure Bible Studies from Ascension Press, and our collective learning experience from all of them has been extraordinary. And this study of Hebrews is yet another transformative experience. The study is powerful in exploring how the author of the Letter to the Hebrews exquisitely explains how Jesus is hidden in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament. We have a new level of understanding how Jesus ushered in the New Covenant; and we love how this study clarifies so much scripture to show us more clearly the treasures of our Catholic faith.
Some people may not fully appreciate Dr. Swafford's style, as he speaks quickly and animates himself to emphasize various thoughts. However, we find him refreshing and astonishing in his knowledge and enthusiasm.
This study packs a lot of information. There is a lot of Old Testament information to draw us up to Jesus; and in that regard, this might not entirely be the best choice for a first Bible Study. I think it presupposes some knowledge of the Old Testament. And although it is excellent, maybe it should follow the Bible Timeline.
I am amazed at how many of my lingering confusions about the ushering in of the New Covenant have been pretty much cleared up as a result of this study.
People are giving this whole study low reviews because Dr. Swafford talks fast and moves his hands a lot. Please just go under the video settings button and turn him back to .75 speed. We did this for a group setting and each of us used this personally at home and it made a world of difference! You can also turn on Closed Captions on the videos to help with comprehension. This is an amazing study with great info, so do not let reviews for a fast talker ruin it, especially when it is an easy adjustment under settings. The content is great even if you skip the videos and just use your Bible, Catechism and the workbook.
