SynopsisJohn Bergsma's popular Bible Basics for Catholics, which has sold more than 60,000 copies, offers readers an accessible vision of salvation history as it unfolds in 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 fulfillment in the Book of Revelation.John Bergsma brings to his theology a combination of academic expertise, pastoral wisdom, and unique playfulness. Bible Basics for Catholics is based on 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 while staying true to both Catholic teaching and biblical scholarship. Readers will begin to see the Christian understanding of salvation by walking through the Old Testament, going through the great stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, the great kings and prophets of Israel, and culminating in the person and work of Jesus Christ., From biblical scholar Bergsma, two-time teacher of the year at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, comes this fresh, creative, and authentically Catholic introduction to the big picture of salvation history.

Can you draw a stick figure? No Theology required!
Dr. Bergsma is a captivating and engaging professor of Theology at Franciscan University, where I first encountered this delightful method of remembering Bible basics. He uses the most simple things - like stick figures- to teach God's relationship with His people as He moves through ever widening covenant with us. (In case you wondered, yes, the stick figure drawings were required on his tests.) This makes for a memorable and fun way to get the overview of Scripture. Toddlers to seniors will enjoy learning the Bible and how much God loves us and provides for us using this wonderful resource.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Bible Basics
Fantastic high level overview of Christian Salvation history. Concise and compelling. Stick figure illustrations are excellent visual aids for retaining the basic information particularly for those prefer graphics to text. Would recommend to non-Catholics as relatively small amount of Catholic-specific content.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Excellent; super easy/enjoyable to read but gaining significant insight for the Old Testament in Catholic/Chrirstian point of view
Strongly recommended for Christian, mostly Catholic, who would not want to do a lots of research/reading but still able to grasp the very main point/ view of the salvation history, the Old Testament, from the Adamic covenant to the eternal covenant; John Bergsma's knowledgeably excellently sharing with his readers his work- with super thorough explanation in very simple, graphically- creating a very relax, enjoyable reading yet very deep insight! So fall in love with it, I ordered most of his books following this one and has not been any regret since then!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
