The Bible Timeline is an immensely rich study, diving deep into each time period of the Bible. Salvation history is covered from its beginning in Genesis through the coming of Christ and the establishment of the Catholic Church.

The Great Advenutre begins with a three-step foundational series designed to give you a solid basis for all future Bible study. This course will be offered starting SEPTEMBER 15, 2011.
The Bible Timeline Is Changing Lives...
"I am impressed with the methodology and growth of The Great Adventure: A Journey Through the Bible. The canonical approach that The Great Adventure employs is a marvelous way to introduce the faithful to salvation history. The Great Adventure, being faithful to Dei Verbum, is bearing much fruit in the Church today and contributing to a stronger, more informed laity."
-Francis Cardinal George - Archbishop of Chicago
"The Great Adventure Bible studies are proving to be a tremendous blessing in our Archdiocese. Our leaders are thrilled with their easy-to-follow format which communicates the beauty of salvation history in a way that can be understood, remembered, and applied to life."
-Kyle Neilson - Archdiocese of Vancouver Office of Religious Education
"Those who attended our Bible Timeline study have commented how it helped their understanding of the Mass readings and several even said the study was 'life-changing.' Everyone found the video lectures to be edge-of-your-seat interesting! Seeing people grow together in their understanding of Christ’s word is remarkable."
-Jean Mark - Sacramento, California
"The Bible Timeline series has changed my life. I never would have read the Bible if it wasn't for this, and now I simply adore Scripture. It's really inspired me on my faith journey. It has given me such insight into the Catholic faith and helps me to understand it's true beauty, and it excites me that I have so much of my life left to study!"
-Kyley Drach - Kamloops, British Columbia
"The effect on my parishioners has been wonderful: a deeper love for Christ, a deeper experience with the sacraments, and continued love for the Scriptures."
