2015-2016
This fall, the Catholic Biblical School of Michigan
T
(CBSM) continues with this exciting program to study Scripture
at four locations in the Archdiocese of Detroit and the Diocese
of Lansing. CBSM was founded to educate the minds and fill
the hearts of Catholics as they embrace the Scriptures through
an in-depth study of God’s Word. From Genesis through
Revelation, classes over a four-year period draw
from contemporary Biblical scholarship and Catholic
tradition, while focusing on the needs and interests of
all Catholics. Archbishop Allen Vigneron supports this
important endeavor.
oday, when few
things remain certain
in which to place our
trust, one thing stands
firm – the Word of God.
Through the Scriptures,
the Father who is in
Heaven meets us with
great love, invites us to
get to know Him, and
gives us hope for the
future. He is constant.
He is reliable. And
He wants to be our
light in the darkness.
Powerful Curriculum
Inspired Instructors
The Catholic Biblical School
of Michigan follows the model
and the curriculum of the
immensely successful Denver
Catholic Biblical School,
which has made God’s Word
come alive for thousands
across the country. Whether
you have been a long-time
student of the Scriptures or
are a beginner, these classes
will help you discover the
timelessness of God’s Word
and transform your life!
The Catholic Biblical
School has assembled a firstrate team of experienced
instructors – all who have
at least a Master’s Degree
– with a deep love for the
Catholic faith. Through
lectures, small group
discussions and weekly
coursework, they will guide
you through the Bible and
help you to discover God’s
story, so in turn, you can
discover your own.
Accredited

This solid and authentically
Catholic Scripture study
offered at a variety of
locations in the Detroit area
is now available for academic
credit through Sacred Heart
Major Seminary. Call

Did not our hearts
burn within us...
while he opened to
us the Scriptures?
LUKE 24:32

Together, we will cover the Bible in its
entirety. First-year students trace the Biblical
story through the historical books of the Old
Testament. Whether these stories are familiar or
new to you, your participation in this class will

both increase your knowledge of your Catholic
faith and add a deeper dimension to your life
that brings you closer to God.
The school year consists of 28 weeks
of classes, spanning September to May. In
addition, CBSM offers prayer days and
retreats throughout the year.
