Honors Theology II- Sacred Scripture
Students who are enrolled in Honors Theology 2: Sacred Scripture for the 2018 -2019 school year are required to read the following books during the summer: Genesis, Numbers, Exodus and Deuteronomy.
[n.b. the book of Liviticus is deliberately not listed; it will be studied within the course.]

Students may use any modern bible translation for these readings (but not a “children’s bible or an abridged version, such as the Reader’s Digest Bible).
There will be a test on these books during the first week of September. The test will focus on the major characters (e.g. the Patriarchs, their wives, sons, daughters) about whom stories are told.
1. Do NOT get “bogged down” in the genealogies In Genesis and the beginning chapters of Numbers.
2. DO jot down questions you have while reading. Note any words you do not know, or with which you are not familiar.
3. Read for enjoyment and knowledge.
4. Read prayerfully.
5. Bring your questions to the class in August and early September.

Honors Theology III Morality
Students enrolled in Honors Theology 3 are required to read A Voice in the Wind by
Francine Rivers.
Students will be tested on this reading once we are back in school. As you read, be mindful of the discussion questions found in the back of the book, and be able to identify in depth with one or two of the characters.
Honors Theology IV
The Faith for Beginners: Understanding the Creeds
Stephen K Ray and Dennis Walters (Lighthouse Catholic Media edition)
This book will be used throughout the year. Students should read and be prepared to discuss the book. A project will also be assigned in the beginning of the year.
