Additional information

In his third back-to-basics have a look at the Bible, popular theology professor and bestselling Catholic creator and speaker John Bergsma highlights the presence of Jesus in the psalms and helps us take note their meaning in light of the story of salvation. Bergsma employs the similar conversational style and simple illustrations found in Bible Basics for Catholics and New Testament Basics for Catholics to lend a hand bridge the gap between the world of recent Catholics and the ancient world of the Bible.

Psalm Basics for Catholics, John Bergsma introduces us to King David, the story of Israel, and the salvation of the Jewish people through the coming of Jesus.

For more than two thousand years, Christians have sung, chanted, and prayed the psalms, a practice of worship inherited from our Jewish ancestors in faith. Whether prayed right through Mass, the Liturgy of the Hours, or in personal reflection, these ancient hymns continue to be a guiding light for Catholics. Yet rarely do we step back and have a look at how the psalms fit into the story of salvation revealed in the Bible the best way Bergsma does here.

Bergsma also addresses common questions about the psalms, including

Do the psalms truly predict Jesus?
What do we make of the so-referred to as curse psalms?
Why do we pray the psalms in the Liturgy of the Hours?
How do I read and pray the psalms?

Bergsma’s insightful, practical examination of the psalms helps Catholics see how their promise is fulfilled in Christ.
