Week 1 Review:The Bible God's Story

I was so glad to have met with you!  It was a fun class for me and I hope it was for you.
Here is a link to the online session review:
Study Guide Session 1
and another link to a page on ways that you can carry this session forward into your every day life:
Living My Faith 

This section is for your parents but there is interesting stuff there for you too!
Raising Faith Filled Kids Week 1

If you want to try the Session Review game, the Link is here:

This is an interactive game and some computers might not be able to load it, if you have problems and want to take the review, e-mail me and I'll send you a pdf version.  I did the review and thought that it was fun- especially the hints and pop-ups with the correct answers whether or not you get it right.

At the end of the review, you can e-mail the results to me (mrmurrin@verizon.net)
I did the review and got 1150 out of 1200, so I can't expect you to be perfect.
If the whole class does the review and mails the results to me, we'll have a prize next week.

Here are the vocabulary words for this week (with definitions from your glossary)
Inspired=Influenced by the Holy Spirit (The human authors of Scripture were influenced by the Holy Spirit)  The creative inspiration of the Holy Spirit made sure that the Scripture was written according to the truth God wants us to know for our salvation.

Interpretation=an explanation of the words of Scripture, combining human wisdom and the teaching office of the church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Magisterium=the living, teaching office of the church.  This office, through the bishops and with the Pope, provides an interpretation of the Word of God.  It ensures faithfulness to the teachings of the apostles in matters of faith and morals.

Scriptorium=the room in a monastery in which books were copied by hand.  Often beautiful art was created on the page to illustrate the story.

Vulgate=the Latin translation of the Bible by St. Jerome from the Hebrew and Greek from which it was originally written. Most Christians of St. Jerome's day no longer spoke Greek or Hebrew.  The common language or vulgate was Latin.  (This was in the days of the Roman Empire)

When we have about a dozen words and time left in a session, we'll start playing the vocabulary game.  It might not sound like fun but every class where we've done it, loves it.  You win coins for a correct answer (sometimes chocolate ones) and if you want, you can trade in the coins for prizes.  That is one reason that you want to read your chapter ahead of time-so there is time for the game!

For next week: Read Chapter 2.
