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.

"Nobody alive teaches the biblical basics as clearly and memorably as John Bergsma. I am addicted to his work. In this book he helps us to see subtle touches that the ancient authors of the New Testament intended us to see, but often get lost in translation. Bergsma makes New Testament Basics for Catholics as vivid as our memories and enables us to apply the scriptures to our own lives." --Mike Aquilina, Speaker, educator, and author of The Fathers of the Church
"New Testament Basics for Catholics will hold a prominent and permanent place upon my bookshelf. Rare is the book that can take something so deep and make it simple enough for a beginner to understand. This is the work of a master teacher." --Mark Hart, Author of Behold the Mystery: A Deeper Understanding of the Catholic Mass
