Trusted. Award-winning. Transformative.

Dear LRSS Community, We’ve had a wonderful year here at LRSS celebrating 50 Years of Catholic Bible Study! We hope you enjoyed our Little Rock Connections emails highlighting stories of our founding, our deep roots in the ethos of Vatican II, the importance of prayer in Bible study, and the flourishing of LRSS around the world.

We’re still celebrating with the release of our two incredible new studies! I’ve already heard from groups studying Women in the New Testament who have experienced deep learning and meaningful faith-sharing.

We’re thankful to New Testament scholar Catherine Cory for sharing her considerable gifts and expertise in this wonderfully engaging study.

Women in the Old Testament is now available, and we can’t wait to share it with you. This study includes the renowned classic commentary by beloved Scripture scholar Irene Nowell, OSB, along with new perspectives from Jaime Waters, a contemporary scholar from the Boston College Clough School of Theology and Ministry.

Jaime has written brief essays at the end of each lesson, engaging with contemporary topics and helping us dig even deeper into these powerful stories of faith.

These studies (including all new video lectures by a diverse team) embody what we’re all about here at LRSS: the best in biblical scholarship, an enriching variety of perspectives, and a celebration of our inspired biblical texts that doesn’t shy away from their complexities and challenges.

As always, you know where to find me with questions, feedback, or if you just want to say hello! It is my privilege to help you choose a study or hear how you are using our resources.

Thank you for continuing to study God’s Word with us. Here’s to the next 50 Years of Catholic Bible Study!

Amy Ekeh Director, Little Rock Scripture Study aekeh001@litpress.org 320-363-2081

P.S. Coming next fall . . . a brand new study

by Fr. George Smiga! Explore the biblical roots of faith, hope, and love—the very essence of our relationship with God.

Scripture and the Rosary

The Eucharist in Scripture

Clifford M. Yeary with Little Rock Scripture Study Staff

Clifford M. Yeary with Little Rock Scripture Study Staff

The rosary has long held a central place in the prayer lives of Catholics. At the heart of this popular form of prayer is an invitation to focus our minds and hearts on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Son of God and Son of Mary. Through an illuminating analysis of all the relevant biblical texts, Scripture and the Rosary provides a trustworthy guide for deepening our understanding and appreciation of key events in the lives of Jesus and Mary, reflected in each set of mysteries: Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious.

4 lessons.

The Eucharist in Scripture explores the biblical theme of meals shared in faithful fellowship and in covenant relationship with God. Old Testament meals and promises provide a foundation for gospel meals with Jesus, culminating in the Last Supper as it is understood throughout the New Testament.

Jesus’ Bread of Life discourse and the early Church’s practice of “breaking bread” are also explored. 5 lessons.

Stretch Out Your Hand Reflections on the Healing Ministry of Jesus Amy Ekeh; Introduction by Thomas D. Stegman, SJ

Gifts from Friends We Never Wanted

Biblical Journeys of Grace Virginia Herbers

In times of need, find refuge in the healing ministry of Jesus. These forty reflections take us deep into the heart of powerful Gospel stories, helping us hear and experience them anew so we too may stretch out our hands—to receive and to extend the remarkable healing ministry of Jesus.

Unwelcome guests are not generally greeted with gratitude, but occasionally they become unexpected friends bearing gifts we never would have asked for. Following the same pattern as her first book, Gifts from Friends We’ve Yet to Meet, Herbers chooses a gospel character to accompany us as we engage these uninvited “friends.”
