“I believe the time is right for the stated vision of Emmaus to become reality: ‘a biblically literate and passionately Catholic community, filled with the knowledge and love of Christ, through a deepening understanding of Sacred Scripture and its centrality in the life and liturgy of the Church.’”
-James Conley, Bishop of Lincoln

Current Courses
Creation to New Creation: The Whole in One
We’ve designed this course to help people find their way around in the Bible by providing a framework that is easy to grasp, and a panoramic view of God’s grand story, from creation to new creation.
Genesis 1-11: The Story of Creation and Corruption
Join us for an introduction to the study of the Bible generally and a detailed consideration of its “Beginnings” in chapters 1-11.
The Eucharist as a Theme throughout Sacred Scripture
In this course we’ll investigate the Eucharist as a major theological theme in the Old Testament that emerges in a special way when Jesus institutes it as a sacrament in the New Testament.
The Way of Discipleship in Sacred Scripture
Throughout this study, we will consider how the Bible intends to influence us and shape our lives as readers who are being made into disciples of Jesus by our contemplation of the sacred text.
