Award-winning writer and theology professor John Bergsma follows up his popular Bible Basics for Catholics–which has sold more than 60,000 copies–with a closer, more an in-depth have a look at the New Testament. The use of simple illustrations and the same clear, conversational style that characterized his earlier book, Bergsma introduces four of a very powerful writers in the New Testament: Matthew, Luke, Paul, and John.

With humor and simple illustrations, theology professor John Bergsma specializes in 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, in addition to 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. In spite of everything, “the beloved apostle” St. John draws us in to the unsurpassed great thing about the fourth gospel, in addition to 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 many who are new to scripture study, this New Testament book 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 life-time of scripture reading.
