From biblical scholar John Bergsma—two-time Teacher of the Year at the Franciscan University of Steubenville — comes Bible Basics for Catholics, a fresh, fun, and authentically Catholic introduction to the ‘big picture’ of salvation history.
This overview of the Bible is based on Bergsma’s wildly popular introduction to theology course at Franciscan University, where he is a colleague of popular author Scott Hahn. Using the skills that have made him a great teacher, Bergsma combines sound theology, academic expertise, pastoral wisdom, and an endearing playfulness to draw readers into the connection between the great stories of the Bible and salvation in Jesus. Central to the book’s themes are Bergsma’s signature illustrations of key biblical characters, which are simple, yet surprisingly profound and help readers understand complex biblical ideas.
