A plan has always existed in the mind of God, the aim of which is to bring humankind to a full enjoyment of God. We call this plan “The History of Salvation”. In the Bible, God established a covenant with His people and enters into communion with them, allowing them to experience His divine love, justice and tender mercy through deeds and words. Hence, Israel’s knowledge of God is not merely speculative but a direct knowledge. (Cavalletti, 1999)
This course offers an opportunity for participants to study the principal events of The History of Salvation, by focusing on the covenants God has established with particular individuals and particular groups of people throughout Salvation History:
Session 1: What is Salvation History? What is God’s Covenant?
Session 2: Adam and Noah
Session 3: Abraham
Session 4: Moses
Session 5: David and the prophets
Session 6: Jesus, the Church and Parousia
This course seeks to help us:
encounter our living God, His love and mercy through our study of these events in their historical reality,
recognise that salvation history continues to unfold and God continues to await our response to His gift of friendship as well as to His invitation to collaborate with Him in this history as we await God being “all in all” at Parousia, (cf. DC 145)
gain knowledge of biblical personages and events so that, as keepers of memory of God, we are able to transmit salvation history in a lively way in our catechesis. (DC 74a, 113a and 144)
