John Bergsma’s popular Bible Basics for Catholics, which has sold more than 60,000 copies, offers readers an accessible vision of salvation history because it unfolds within the Bible, showing how the Bible points us to the saving life and work of Jesus. This new edition includes an additional chapter on covenant achievement within the Book of Revelation.
John Bergsma brings to his theology a combination of educational expertise, pastoral wisdom, and unique playfulness.
Bible Basics for Catholics is in line with Bergsma’s popular Introduction to Theology course at Steubenville. As a teacher, Bergsma has an uncanny ability to make complex ideas understandable and faith-inspiring whilst staying true to both Catholic teaching and biblical scholarship. Readers will start to see the Christian working out of salvation by walking during the Old Testament, going during the great stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, the good kings and prophets of Israel, and culminating within the person and work of Jesus Christ.
