Thy Word

Résumé du livre

This little book is intended to introduce you to the Bible over the course of twenty-two lessons. It is important to keep in mind that this book is only an introduction. As the title suggests, it is not meant to turn you into an expert on the Bible. It is for the people who sit in the pews, by one who sits in the pews. Still, if you learn what is in this book, you will know most of what most people know about the Bible. You will learn about the great personalities of the Scriptures: Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, Mary, Peter, Paul and, of course, Jesus. You will learn about the great events of biblical times: the Exodus, the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, the Exile and Restoration of the Jews, the life, Passion, death and Resurrection of Jesus, and the efforts of His apostles to spread the good news of God's love and forgiveness to the world. This book will have done its job well if, after you finish the course, you feel inspired to learn more about the Bible and your Catholic faith. I have provided a list of recommended books for further reading. Your teacher or pastor can recommend to you other books and resources.
