FOR MORE THAN FIFTEEN YEARS, THE ST. PAUL CENTER FOR BIBLICAL THEOLOGY HAS PROMOTED LIFE-TRANSFORMING CATHOLIC SCRIPTURE STUDY. WE PRODUCE STUDY TOOLS AND DEVOTIONAL RESOURCES-FROM BOOKS AND JOURNALS TO MULTIMEDIA AND ONLINE PROGRAMMING.FOUNDED IN 2001 BY DR. SCOTT HAHN, THE CENTER EQUIPS ALL CATHOLICS-LAITY, PRIESTS, RELIGIOUS, SEMINARIANS, AND CATECHISTS-TO MORE DEEPLY UNDERSTAND SACRED SCRIPTURE AND TO PARTICIPATE MORE FULLY IN THE LIFE AND LITURGY OF THE CHURCH.
TO PROMOTE BIBLICAL LITERACY FOR LAY PEOPLE AND BIBLICAL FLUENCY FOR CLERGY AND TEACHERS, SO THAT ALL CATHOLICS CAN READ THE BIBLE FROM THE HEART OF THE CHURCH.
AS THE FUTURE OF THE CELIBATE PRIESTHOOD WAS DISCUSSED AT THE SYNOD THE PUBLISHING ARM OF THE ST. PAUL CENTER, EMMAUS ROAD, RELEASED WHY CELIBACY? RECLAIMING THE FATHERHOOD OF THE PRIEST WHICH BECAME A BEST SELLER AND WAS DEVOURED BY SEMINARIANS AND FAITHFUL ALIKE. EMMAUS ROAD ALSO PUBLISHED 41 BOOKS MEANT TO ENRICH THE UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE AND THE CATHOLIC FAITH INTENDED FOR AUDIENCE OF CHILDREN UP TO THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE LAY PERSON.
THE CENTRAL MISSION OF THE ST. PAUL CENTER IS TO EXCITE CATHOLIC CLERGY AND LAITY ABOUT SACRED SCRIPTURE AND TO GIVE THEM THE ABILITY TO READ IT FROM THE HEART OF THE CHURCH. OUR EVENTS ARE A VITAL PART OF OUR OUTREACH, FEATURING EXEMPLARY TESTIMONIALS, INSPIRING TALKS, AND INFORMATIVE LECTURES THAT MAKE SCRIPTURE AND THE FAITH COME ALIVE. OVER THIS LAST YEAR, THE CENTER UNDERTOOK AN AMBITIOUS PROGRAM OF IN-PERSON EVENTS ATTENDED BY OVER 80,000 PEOPLE IN TWENTY-FIVE STATES, WHICH AMOUNTS TO AN EVENT ALMOST EVERY WEEKEND. THESE EVENTS ARE AT ONCE EVANGELISTIC AND EDUCATIONAL, AND THEY ENABLE US TO INITIATE LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE ST. PAUL CENTER AND ATTENDEES, PARISHES, DIOCESES, AND ORGANIZATIONS.
THE ST. PAUL CENTER'S CORE MISSION IS HELPING CATHOLICS ENCOUNTER THEIR FAITH THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD. GENESIS TO JESUS, THE FLAGSHIP JOURNEY THROUGH SCRIPTURE BIBLE STUDY WAS LAUNCHED AROUND THE WORLD. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO WATCH OVER 250,000 HOURS TOTAL OF THIS GROUNDBREAKING CONTENT. THE STUDY HELPED WALK VIEWERS THROUGH THE OLD TESTAMENT SHOWING GOD'S FAITHFULNESS LEADING TO THE CLIMAX OF HIS SON JESUS. THE CENTER IS SET TO RELEASE THE BIBLE AND CHURCH FATHERS IN 2020. RESPONDING PROVIDENTIALLY TO THE CRISIS OF BELIEF IN THE REAL PRESENCE, THE CENTER LAUNCHED THE EUCHARIST AND SCRIPTURE WEEKS AFTER THE PEW RESEARCH POLL CAME OUT. THIS SIX-PART STUDY HELPS CATHOLICS UNDERSTAND THE BIBLICAL ROOTS OF THE MASS AND EUCHARIST. MANY VIEWERS WEPT WITH EMOTION AFTER ENCOUNTERING FOR THE FIRST TIME A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING THIS POWERFUL GIFT FROM GOD.
