Catholic Guide to the New Test

As Catholics, we believe that “‘the Word of God . . . is set forth and displays its power in a most wonderful way in the writings of the New Testament’ which hand on the ultimate truth of God’s Revelation” (CCC 124). The writings of the New Testament center upon Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and Resurrection form the keystone of our Faith. A Catholic Guide to the New Testament sheds light on the essential details of the Gospels, historical books, and letters of the New Testament, giving them context and depth. Discover how the books, people, and events of the New Testament weave together to reveal the “big picture” of the early history of the Church, with features including: • Introductions to each of the 27 books of the New Testament, which dive into topics such as ? the book’s relationship with the Old Testament and Catholic Tradition, ? its significance to the greater story of salvation, ? who wrote it and when, ? key events and themes, and ? major characters.. • Full-color charts, illustrations, and maps showing the teachings of Jesus, the spread of Christianity in the ancient world, and more! • Articles written by Catholic biblical scholars on important topics including geography, archaeology, the Gospels, and the sacraments. • The Bible Timeline® color coding—the same system used in the #1 podcast The Bible in a Year (with Fr.
