- 1. Scripture 102
  
  Scripture 102 is a unique Bible study on the New Testament that digs deeper into Scripture unlike any other. Fr. Sebastian Carnazzo from the Institute of Catholic Culture follows up from the Scripture 101 class by using typology, that is, seeing how the Old Testament is fulfilled in the New. He shows us the errors in the religions that have strayed off course all the while helping us to understand how knowing the Bible and salvation history will assist us with the culture we live in today.
  Scripture 102 may be a little difficult for those who are new to taking Bible studies but Fr. Sebastian takes you step by step as he reads what he considers are important passages in a particular book of the Bible and in turn looks at a corresponding book to compare its similar themes. He is especially remarkable on how he intertwines the book of Acts with the epistles of Paul and the Catholic letters to give a timeline of when these letters were written and why. History comes alive with this study.
  Fr. Sebastian also is quite the comedian and keeps the class laughing. It is NEVER boring! He is a Melkite Rite priest and he sometimes explains differences between the Latin and Eastern Catholic churches which is fascinating while emphasizing that we are One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

2. Jesus and the End Times - THIS CLASS IS NOW FULL
- Have you ever wondered what the Bible teaches about what will happen at the end of time? Catholics ae often unfamiliar with what the bible actually teaches. Many Christians are unaware that the Catholic Church has very explicit teachings about the tribulation, the antichrist, the second coming, and the new creation.
  In this detailed bible study on the end times, Dr. Pitre brings clarity and precision to the confusion that frequently surrounds the doctrine of the end times, by answering crucial questions such as:
  
  What is the meaning of Jesus’ prophecies of tribulation and the coming of the Son of Man? Are we in the “end times” now?
  
  Why did Jesus prophesy the destruction of the temple, and how does it relate to the end of the world?
  
  What will the final judgment be like, and how will we be judged?
  
  If you’ve ever wondered about where this world is heading and what the ultimate destiny of humanity is, then you don’t want to miss this powerful study of the truth about what the Bible and the Catholic Church teach about the last days.
