Do you want to understand the Word of God more deeply? Do the texts you listen to seem too complicated? Or have you ever read the Bible and wondered about the meaning of some of its passages? Think about why certain events are described in one way and not another? What message do they carry for us today? How to read the historical books of the Holy Scripture?

You will find answers to these and many other questions during this year's series of lectures and Bible meetings organized at the Warsaw Archcathedral and on YouTube.

Father Maciej Jaszczołt, vicar of the archcathedral parish, biblical scholar, and experienced guide to the Holy Land, invites you on a fascinating journey through the history of the Bible. You will discover how cultural and historical backgrounds influenced the creation and shaping of individual books of the Holy Scripture. This will help you better understand the message of the Gospel, and you will also get to know the Bible with greater understanding during your personal reading.
