Pilgrimage Holy Land course booklets available

As Lent begins in the coming days, a Bible study course, PILGRIMAGE: A Journey of Faith through the Holy Land, may well prove to be a worthwhile companion. The course is designed to help all those who wish to learn more about various biblical sites, either in preparation for a visit to the Holy Land, while there, or as a Bible student. It may be used chronologically throughout the church year or geographically in various regions of the Holy Land.

As well as a course guide, there are two booklets – each incorporating six Bible studies linked to Holy Land pilgrimage – currently available which would be relevant to any Lenten Study group: one on Jesus’s later ministry and on the road to Jerusalem, and one on Jesus and the road to Calvary which is particularly germane to Holy Week.

The course has been written by the Revd Ken Rue, Chairperson of the Dublin & Glendalough Council for Mission and Assistant Priest in Wicklow & Killiskey group of parishes. The Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic Archbishops of Dublin, Archbishop Michael Jackson and Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, have both written and signed the Preface to the course, which is co–published by Church of Ireland Publishing and Messenger Publications, the Jesuit publishing house.

The Course Guide is priced at €4.00 / £3.50 and each booklet costs €6.00/ £5.50. The entire course may be purchased for €33 / £30. Orders should be sent to either Heather Jestin in Church House, Rathmines (e–mail: Heather.Jestin@rcbcoi.org), or to Messenger Publications, 37 Lower Leeson Street, Dublin 2 (e–mail: sales@messenger.ie), or online at https://store.ireland.anglican.org
