“This book can change lives.”

“It would be worth it to go back to college just to learn from a master teacher like Bergsma. This book saves us the tuition and the trip to faraway Ohio. Instead, we go by way of history and imagination to the Holy Land, and to times long past, and we meet the most fascinating people who ever lived: Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus. We can do all this because of Bergsma’s rare gifts. This book can change lives.”

“A basic, non-intimidating overview of the Bible.”

“Even though this is a basic, non-intimidating overview of the Bible, the author is not afraid to deepen our appreciation of Scripture by occasionally introducing some important technical terms and Hebrew and Greek words, always explaining them thoroughly and understandably.”

National Catholic Register

“Highly recommended.”

“John Bergsma brings his biblical scholarship, pastoral heart, and gift for teaching together in this charming, easy-to-use overview of Salvation History. Highly recommended.”

“My go-to resource for teaching Scripture.”

“Bible Basics for Catholics is the best resource in my classroom, hands down. It is my go-to resource for teaching Scripture and I tell all my students and their parents to add it to their library.”
