Introduction to the Program

Through this program, you will identify the meaning and significance of the Bible in different current cultural contexts"

The Bible, despite being the book par excellence of Christianity, dates from such a distant date of creation that many of its precepts are outdated with respect to the evolution of today's society. In this sense, it has received numerous criticisms even from within the Church itself given the limited applicability of various ideas, calling for an openness in thinking and interpretation towards the way of seeing the world today. In view of this circumstance, those responsible for studying the texts pertaining to it or for transmitting the Catholic Religion in educational centers must master the cutting-edge meaning of The Bible in order to successfully disseminate its values.
