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. - Häftad, Engelska, 2015

Award-winning author and theology professor John Bergsma follows up his popular Bible Basics for Catholics—which has sold more than 60,000 copies—with a more in-depth look at the New Testament. Using simple illustrations and the same clear, conversational style that characterized his earlier book, Bergsma introduces four of the most important writers in the New Testament: Matthew, Luke, Paul, and John. With humor and simple illustrations, theology professor John Bergsma focuses on Matthew, Luke, Paul, and John, whose writings comprise about 90 percent of the New Testament. The gospel of Matthew, written for Jewish Christians, illuminates the life and teachings of Christ as the long-promised Messiah. In Luke's gospel, readers will delve into the infancy and Triduum narratives, as well as the Acts of the Apostles and the life of the early Church. This leads the reader to discover St. Paul and his first and arguably greatest theological treatise: Romans. Finally, “the beloved apostle” St. John draws us in to the unsurpassed beauty of the fourth gospel, as well as the most mysterious book of the New Testament: the book of Revelation. A concluding chapter offers suggestions for further study. Intended as an introductory work for those who are new to scripture study, New Testament Basics for Catholics does not aspire to be a comprehensive guide to all twenty-seven books of the New Testament, but is intended to lay the foundation for a lifetime of scripture reading. - Häftad, Engelska, 2018

In his third back-to-basics look at the Bible, popular theology professor and bestselling Catholic author and speaker John Bergsma highlights the presence of Jesus in the psalms and helps us understand their meaning in light of the story of salvation. Bergsma employs the same conversational style and simple illustrations found in Bible Basics for Catholics and New Testament Basics for Catholics to help bridge the gap between the world of contemporary Catholics and the ancient world of the Bible. In 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 during 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 look at how the psalms fit into the story of salvation revealed in the Bible the way Bergsma does here. Bergsma also addresses common questions about the psalms, includingDo the psalms really predict Jesus?What do we make of the so-called 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. 234 kr

Winner of a honorable mention award in the popular scripture studies category from the Catholic Media Association.
When you begin to see the Bible as a book of love, it will change the way you view love, sex, marriage, family, and your personal relationship with God.
Walk with popular scripture scholar John Bergsma from the creation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden to the wedding between the Lamb and the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation to learn how marriage in the Bible represents the love between God and his people.
Bergsma focuses on what nine biblical marriages tell us about God’s relationship with us. These stories include: Adam and Eve—who show us that marriage is the culmination of all creation and that marriage can be an image of the Trinity; Ruth and Boaz—who display the tenderness and virtue of a marriage; Solomon and his bride in the Song of Songs—who illustrate a positive, healthy view of the body and physical beauty; and Jesus as Bridegroom of his people, the Church.Using his popular, whimsical stick-figure illustrations and engaging style, Bergsma helps us understand scripture and salvation history in a unique, memorable way. He also provides insight into Church teachings on marriage and relationships—such as monogamy, the single life, the Sacrament of Matrimony, and Jesus’s words about divorce—to show how these teachings come from the love God shares with his people through the covenants in scripture.

Embárcate en un viaje transformador hacia el corazón de la adoración eucarística con Contempla, cree, conviértete, donde lo ordinario se vuelve extraordinario y la Misa se convierte en un encuentro con Cristo, nuestro Señor eucarístico, que salva almas y cambia vidas.
En Contempla, cree, conviértete, Timothy P. O’Malley, un líder distinguido en el movimiento de Renacimiento Eucarístico y autor de Convertirse en personas eucarísticas y Presencia real, te muestra cómo ver de manera diferente—a través de hábitos de contemplación recién formados—quince cosas físicas ordinarias que la Iglesia usa en la Misa para señalarnos hacia Cristo. Explorarás capas de significado que se encuentran en puertas nobles y vidrieras, la luz del sol y el agua, el aceite y el fuego, los altares y los bancos de las iglesias, y el pan y el vino convertidos en Cuerpo y Sangre. O’Malley te ayuda a ver cómo cada elemento nos dice algo sobre quién es Cristo y quiénes debemos llegar a ser como cristianos.
Inspirado por el genio imponente del movimiento litúrgico del siglo XX, el padre Romano Guardini (1865–1968), O’Malley ofrece un recorrido poco convencional por la Misa, destacando que “la materia importa”. Este libro no profundiza en la intrincada historia de las Plegarias Eucarísticas ni en el significado doctrinal de diversas palabras y acciones. En cambio, proporciona una exploración única de los aspectos materiales de la Misa que encontramos desde el momento en que entramos a la iglesia hasta el momento en que salimos al final.
Ya sea que estés buscando crecimiento personal o explorando este viaje con un grupo pequeño, Contempla, cree, conviértete es el compañero perfecto, ya que ofrece breves vídeos en línea con Rachel y Jason Bulman de “Meet the Bulmans” [Conoce a los Bulman] y preguntas de reflexión al final del capítulo para ayudarte a conectar tu vida diaria con la celebración de la Misa. Y para aquellos que anhelan una experiencia comunitaria, una guía para líderes de grupos pequeños y un kit de planificación parroquial hacen de este un recurso invaluable para parroquias, escuelas y otras comunidades católicas.
¿Estás listo para presenciar la Misa bajo una nueva luz? Contempla, cree, conviértete es la clave para desbloquear una experiencia eucarística más rica y significativa.

A major new work on the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest sacred documents of Judaism, which reveals their surprising connections to early Christianity. “A luminous treatment of a fascinating subject! Highly recommended!”—Scott Hahn, author of The Fourth Cup From award-winning scholar John Bergsma comes an intriguing book that reveals new insights on the Essenes, a radical Jewish community predating Christianity, whose existence, beliefs, and practices are often overlooked in the annuls of history. Bergsma reveals how this Jewish sect directly influenced the beliefs, sacraments, and practices of early Christianity and offers new information on how Christians lived their lives, worshipped, and eventually went on to influence the Roman Empire and Western civilization. Looking to Hebrew scripture and Jewish tradition, Bergsma helps to further explain how a simple Jewish peasant could go on to inspire a religion and a philosophy that still resonates 2,000 years later. In this enriching and exciting exploration, Bergsma demonstrates how the Dead Sea Scrolls—the world's greatest modern archaeological discovery—can shed light on the Church as a sacred society that offered hope, redemption, and salvation to its member. Ultimately, these mysterious writings are a time machine that can transport us back to the ancient world, deepen our appreciation of Scripture, and strengthen our understanding of the Christian faith.“An accessible introduction . . . This is a handy entry point for readers unfamiliar with Essenes or those interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls.”—Publishers Weekly - E-bokSpanska, 2019
