LINCOLN (SNR) - The Emmaus Institute for Biblical Studies will present a morning seminar Saturday, Oct. 24, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, hosted by St. Teresa Parish in Lincoln.
The seminar will feature three talks, one by each of the Emmaus teaching staff, on themes that lie at the heart of the Catholic faith.
In a session entitled “What Must I Do to Be Saved?” (Acts 16:30), Emmaus president Dr. Vern Steiner will reflect on salvation from the perspective of a Catholic convert.
In the second talk, “He Is the Atoning Sacrifice for Our Sins” (1 John 2:2), associate teacher Chad Steiner will discuss Protestant and Catholic views of salvation and their differing conceptions of Christ’s achievement on the cross.
In the third session, “Partakers of the Divine Nature” (2 Peter 1:4), associate teacher Joshua Burks will consider salvation in terms of participation and will address the role of works in relation to salvation.
The content is intended to be informing, inspiring, and accessible to people at all levels who are interested in exploring the fullness of salvation in Catholic teaching. There will also be a Q & A panel in which the Emmaus faculty will address questions submitted by seminar attendees.
For more information and to register, go to www.emmausinstitute.net or contact the Institute office at 402.327.1671 by Oct. 22. The seminar cost of $30 includes handout materials, coffee, and refreshments.
